too smooth into 4lo?

[drivingfool]

Picked up a '23 4xe rubi on a good deal. No hits on the underside (no big scrapes, everything's straight, diffs are not shaved, etc). 15k miles. It has that new fulltime/parttime 4wd transfer case.
My concern is that it VERY smooth into 4lo. I don't hear any gear whine, and it's bone stock.
I'm bringing it in for a full fluid check for glitter.
This is my 4th wrangler and I've never felt a jeep this smooth into 4lo.
At a glance, what do yall think?

Can't you just take it in some sand or dirt and check to see if it's working? Even put it in 4Lo on pavement and try a turn. It should buck and slip the tires if it's in 4Lo.

If it doesn't go into 4Lo, it could be a shift fork. Also, check the cable.

She shifts into 4Lo too easily you say…?

You know the rule: If she seems overly flexible on the first go-round with her, she’s either a gymnast or very well in practice recently. Just sayin’. ?

(Probably not her first go round in 4Lo)

cable?

If I gave you a five-dollar bill would you complain that the serial number doesn't start with your favorite letter? My JLR goes into 4-low very easily, smooth as butter. Make you feel butter <sp>?

Its because its the awd transfer case. It uses clutches instead of unsync'd gears like the part-time transfer case so it is really smooth/easy to engage.

I learnt something new! Thanks @Bleda2002
