Does that 3.0si use a ZF 6HP?
Thanks for the reply!

I don't know the exact model number of the transmission but I can get that for you today with a peak at ISTA.

I did replace the transfer case actuator gear a while back as well as the case fluid. Everything was pretty much mint at the time. I tested the case and reset adaptations / calibrated it recently as an attempt to fix this issue. I used ISTA+ but it made no difference. When I did the flush on the case fluid the fluid looked to be in very good condition.

I'm thinking that the case isn't the culprit but, I've read posts about disconnecting the actuator cable and going for a drive to see if this helps. I haven't tried this yes but I'm willing to.

Something else I'm thinking of doing is remove the transmission fill plug to allow a little fluid out and have it tested.
