2017 SR5 Trouble switching back from 4WD back to 2WD

[><DELTADAWG><]

I have a 2017 SR5 and I can easily get into 4WD - always doing it in neutral gear selection. Everything works fine while in 4WD but I really have trouble getting back into 2WD - also doing this in neutral. The ops manual said that if the 4WD indicator continuously blinks during this process, to drive forward until it engages back into 2WD. When I do this, it makes a NASTY clunk sound after about rolling 10 or so meters. Is this normal? Does not sound like it is. Regards.

Are you shifting from 4wd high to 2wd? Do this on the move and let go of the throttle to make the shift easier. Same for going into 4wd high. You don't need to be in neutral.

Like Wippersnapper said.

OK - I switched on the fly like you said and it still makes a nasty clunk when going back into 2WD. My buddy told me to put it in Neutral and switch it to 2wd - if it doesnt go back to 2wd - throw it in reverse for a second and try it again. I did this and it worked first time without any hard knocks.

Did you let go of the throttle before attempting the shift into 2wd?

I worked in remote areas all my career. All you need to do is turn the 4W to 2W. Back about a truck length and it will release. Another is let off the gas so the truck can coast in a straight line . The slack in the drive will cause it to release.
