Actually, I just remembered... took a 1997 Niva out for a test drive a few years back. I really wanted to buy it, but couldn't get it into 3rd or 4th gear. It felt so awful and slow at even city speeds. I took it back to the dealer after the test drive and told him it wasn't working properly. He said it had been working fine... I assumed it was busted and he was trying to trick me. Wasn't until the way home when my buddy with me asked what the 'other' shifter was for, beside the 2wd / 4 wd shifter. It was the low-speed transfer case! It was in low gear the whole time! What a bonehead I can be! Hahaha! Wish I'd know... probably woulda bought it otherwise!
