Yes; it could damage the transmission.
No a neutral safety switch allows your car to come out of park.
No your car just wont come out of park.
it prevents you from starting the engine while the transmission is in either DRIVE or REVERSE
Switch to TOD and drive about 5mph. Once all 4 tires light, switch to 4H while rolling slowly and in neutral. Might have to step on brake?
you can switch it anytime, but it is better if you stop and do it while in nuetral if it has a two setting 4x4 drive, i.e. 4Hi and 4Lo, then you can simply switch into 4hi whenever you want. you should only switch into 4lo when you are in neutral though.
put it in drive gear and try and start it if it does start while in gear its bad if it doesnt its good.
Try starting the vehicle while it's in gear. If it starts, your neutral safety switch is faulty.
The reason is that when you shift to neutral, the engine is released from the drive, and so there is no longer a load on the motor and it momentarily speeds up. I don't know who taught you to drive, they didn't do a good job. You should NEVER PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION!!!!!!!!
It needs to be in park or neutral to start. All cars have a "safety" switch which prevents starting in gear.
to switch to 4 wheel drive ona sport trac can be done while driving from 2wd to 4wd high at speeds not exceeding 80mph. to put in 4low you need to be stopped and the best bet is put your truck in neutral till it engages
The Ford Neutral Safety Switch is an electronic part with the main function to stop the vehicle from getting started while in gear. The truck will not start when the switch is faulty.
You have to be stopped with the transmission in neutral when you shift in or out of low 4 wheel drive. Park doesn't work as neutral. When you push the rocker switch up for high 4 wheel drive once you will be in high 4 wheel drive, push it again for high 2 wheel drive, you can shift between high 2 and 4 wheel drive while you are driving.
