Put the vehicle into 4WD? It should move on the basis of the traction of the front wheels. The rear wheels should simply free-wheel. Am I wrong?
if you have removed rear drive shaft and the front wheels will be on tow dolly then there is no sense in it.
1 put car in neutrol 2 put e brake on 3 drain transmission fluid 4 unbolt drive shaft from rear end pull shaft out or if your car is newer 2005 have a shop take care of it
2WD: on the front tires 4WD: on the front and rear tires but Honda Pilot 4WD is not a full 4WD therefore no need to put chains in rear tires unless you're manual engage 4WD.
No you need to put it in 2 high and remove the rear drive shaft.
This vehicle has full-time 4wd. There is no option to make it rear-wheel drive.
While stopped, and in park or neutral, move the 4wd selector to the desired 4wd mode, put car in drive or 1st gear and drive.
No, you just put the transmission in neutral. This works for both a dolly and for flat towing.
If you start the vehicle, put the trans in neutral, then put the 4wheel drive in 2wheel drive, then put trans back in gear it should disengage the 4wd. The 4wd drive is a electronic function. You may have to tap the brake pedal after you have selected 2 whl drive with the trans selector in neutral
Chock the wheels to be sure vehicle will not roll. Mark the differential and drive shaft before removing drive shaft. Remove 4 bolts from differential-end of drive shaft. Place a pan under the transmission-end of drive shaft and have clean rags handy. Push the drive shaft slightly toward the front of the vehicle while pulling downward on the drive shaft and lower it to the ground. Pull the drive shaft toward the rear of the vehicle until the front of the drive shaft pulls out of the transmission. Place the drive shaft on the ground and put rags in the transmission to prevent oil leakage and keep dust/dirt out. Assemply is reverse of removal with special attention to aligning marks on the drive shaft to the mark on the differential.
First, after you have engaged the 4wd have someone put it in gear and drive slowly as you look under to see if the front drive line is spinning. If it is then it is engaged.
If it is a standard shift and not an automatic, yes as long as you put it in neutral. If it is an automatic you can disconnect the drive shaft. Otherwise you cannot tow it or you will damage the transmission as it will overheat.
