I mentioned a while back that I thought my AW4 was slipping. I was taking a 90 degree turn at about 20 mph and I seemed to lose traction until I was straight after the turn and it took off.
I was thinking the fluid level might be low and taking the turn caused me to lose pressure in the AW4 and let it slip. I found out later that this only happens in Full Time 4x4.
Now it could still be the wheels spining. I mean I'm not locked so the two tires with traction may be slipping under those extreme circumstances.
After thinking about the issue for a while I was wondering. Can the NP242 slip, internally? I mean without the chain jumping over the teeth of the gears? Could low fluid level in the NP242 be the culprit of the slipping?
Yes I need to check the fluid levels, but I thought this would be a good question for the board, and might help someone else out having the same problem.
