driving on a grippy surface like tarmac in 4dw will wind up the transmission. 4wd is used for surfaces where the wheels will spin to some extent to stop the wind up. the collars on the vac hubs are prone to sticking and will sometimes either only partially engage or disengage. i had the exact same issue with mine a couple of years ago. never looked back.

standard jimny - for now
