Transmission or Transfer Case?

Asked by LarryR81 Mar 04, 2019 at 06:04 PM about the 2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 02 Explorer XLT. When I put it in drive I
feel it going into gear but it doesn't pull. If I  put it in
4 high and shift to each gear independently it goes
into gear and pulls. Reverse also works. What
could be the problem with 4 Auto. Could it be the
transfer case motor or module?
