binding and dead stopping when steering turned, definitely the shift fork...no question about it... mine started doing same, not always, and you will still be able to shift between 4lock and 4high, but the front part of the fork will be worn and sometimes slipping... took the TC out today and changed the fork to the new one.. a 4 hours job if you have all the tools..took the occasion to clean the TC and all gears and do a full check on everything else in there...shift fork is 99% the culprit..and all GM dealers stock it,,,$ 32 here....I know if you take it to a dealer or an indy, labour will be high..

I have a 2006 hummer h3 , same exact problem,binding w/ turning ,it feels like it is stuck in 4hi lock even though the light says its not. took it to firestone they said it was front drive shaft binding up,$650.00 later still not fixed was told to take it to a GM dealer ,they said i need a new trans case $ 2000.00 . I sure could use any help from someone who has had & fixed this problem successfully!!!

I just got mine back from the shop and it drives fine. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed.) I'll be driving it more this week. It shifted in and out of lock perfectly. They replaced the shift fork and according to the dealership, they say it's not required to add more fluid through the speed sensor port. He said they have a bulletin on it, which I should have requested but, he said they put two quarts in it. I wonder, hmm???

2 quarts is too much.. it takes 1.5L or 1.6 quart.. anyhow the TC will get rid of extra oil from the rear shaft..
