Edit. - Would the levers in the cab still more fore and aft freely if the rods in the TB are stuck as you suggest ?

Thanks Guys. I should have given a little more info This is what I did to diagnose the problem. All four wheels definitely drag, as I had to tow it off the trailer I picked it up with. I suspected the transmission brake so I removed the drum from it. No difference. I then jacked up the nearside and span the front wheel with a long bar on one of the wheel nuts. The nearside rear wheel began to spin as I was doing this. That suggests to me that its in 4WD. What also happens is that if I jack up one front wheel I can move it above 9 inches in either direction before it hits resistance, it feels the same as a 2WD would if it were left in gear. The gearstick is in neutral. I will have a look for the 'protruding bits' you talk about and see what I can do with a can of WD40. The prop shaft idea had occurred to me, I was just after a more permanent fix. Many thanks again.

HI folks, In a bit of a dilema. Got a very shabby SIII today and basically I can't get it out of 4WD. This is a problem as I need to push it onto my drive (it's a non runner). Currently I have red stick fully forward, yellow knob up. But I just can't get it out of 4WD. I am assuming this is why it's impossible to push and only just about moveable being dragged by my 2WD TD Fiat Multipla. I have asked elsewhere but no-one seems to know and it's getting a bit urgent now Any idea's how I can disengage 4WD please ?
