Are you supposed to have to kill the engine to shift into 4 low?

I posted a few that my 95 4 runner auto wasn't going into 4 low. Today, just for the hell of it, I tried killing the engine, then putting it into 4 low, then cranking it back up. It worked!!!!! Is this common, I don't have the owners manual. Thank's

Thank's, I have tried it numerous times sitting still. Neutral, park, the shifter is smooth & the transfer doesn't make any noises, it was just staying in 4 high. I just decided to try it with the engine killed & it in neutral & it worked....seems pretty weird to me. Thank's, Mike

No, you should be able to put it in 4low without turning off the engine. You can do it in gear but you may feel a little clunk. I usually just put it in neutral or park and then do it.

Did it go back into 4high without turning off the motor?

Yep it will go into 4 high or 2 high w/o killing the motor. Tried to put it into low again & it was staying in 4 high. Killed the engine, put it in neutral, put it in 4 low & it worked....tried it several times. Thank's, Mike
