When starting in gear there is a switch , controlled by the front brake lever to avoid over revving, make sure the front brake lever is fully applied when starting in gear , if the engine starts to run rough disengage the brake lever fully, if rough running continues then likely switch needs replacing/servicing
Has the battery died or been changed or unhooked. I know some car radio if they loose battery power, they quit working till you put a radio code in them.
no idea where that pop happens, engine air cleaner.
tail pipe, (called muffler explosion)
or is it tranny sounds.
is this a/t seen like it.. only clue is other gears.
if a/t then it is slipping
scan the PCM yet, for P07xx codes? slush pump errors.?
might be 4th gear slip
or the tCC lockup popping in and out.
if a clutch car,? like mine, JK 6 speed,,m/t say so.... now.
I'm assuming you're talking about the transfer case popping out of 2 high or even 4 high. It could be that the transfer case needs a chain or gears replaced and is slipping on the cogs/gears. In 4 low it takes less pressure/strain to move the vehicle so it doesn't slip. I would put the trans. AND transfer case in neutral, with the FRONT wheels blocked, and NOT running, jack at least one rear wheel off of the ground, and try turning the rear drive shaft back and forth to feel the free play (free play in the transfer case, not the rear end). Excessive free play should tell you that the drive chain/gears are very warn and could be slipping. That would be a start.
the motor mounts are probably bad. pop the hood and start the engine. Put it in gear and back in park several times. If the engine moves more than an inch or so, the motor mounts are bad
As it should. Lower gear means higher engine revs.
Warning - downshift at too high a speed will cause damage to your engine and transmission.
Why are you dong this anyway? Saving the brakes? Pads are about $30.00 and should last 30 - 40 thousand miles. Downshifting puts unnecessary strain on your entire vehicle, even though it might be fun. It also increases fuel consumption and is hard on the tires.
