In this video I explain the different shift positions along with the proper shiftinf procedure in a 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK or JKU.

Shift Postions

2H Position - is ued for normal street and highway driving on hard-surfaced roads.

4H Positon - is used for slippery road surfaces like snow, rain, ice, and sand. 4H locks the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.

N (Neutral) Position - disenages the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain. This is for flat towing behind another vehicle.

4L Position – (just like 4H) locks the front and rear driveshafts together howver provides additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). 4L is only to be used in extreme conditions.

Shifting Procedure

2H to 4H or 4H to 2H

You can shift from 2H to 4H with the vehcile stopped in “Park” or in motion in “Drive”. If you choose to shift from 2H to 4H while in motion do not exceed 45 mph.

4H to 4L or 4L to 4H

To shift fomr 4H to 4L make sure your automatic tranmission is in “Neutral”. Once the shift is complete place the automatic transmisson into “Drive” or realse the cluth pedal on a manual transmission.
