Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Billing was the first chance I got to use some of the OneTens features to the full, basically as the camping field was like a mud pit. Now Difflocks engaged perfectly and worked without fail, but I basically had to hold it in low range. Something to worry about or purely lack of use?

Gromit Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Mine needs to be pulled fully into high while under load, or it jumps out. You sure it was fully engaged? I believe that the link can be adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Really not sure, Just trying it out on the field we were camping. Diff locks worked a treat, even the light did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Really not sure, Just trying it out on the field we were camping. Diff locks worked a treat, even the light did! on mine, when changing to high, I pull it as far as it'll go, then lift the clutch a bit, and it'll move another notch to fully engaged. Maybe try the same on yours, when going to low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I was told to lift the clutch and feel the clunk, which I did. But it still jumped out when I shifted the main gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 might just be lack of use. Maybe try lubricating the linkage and using it more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Where can I use it short of the farmers field? When it's hitting 10mph in 4th you know road use is out of the question really lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Where can I use it short of the farmers field? When it's hitting 10mph in 4th you know road use is out of the question really lol. If I haven't used mine in a while, traffic jams are a perfect opportunity. Bit annoying for the drivers behind you when you're doing 0.1mph in low first, at idle. Plus you can practice going from low to high on the move - be very careful doing this though, as it's not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I use low in traffic jams, low 2nd is great for trickling along in slow traffic, practice low to hi range change, it's worth knowing how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Never thought of that, I gotta admit when traffics crawling at such a speed that High 1st is too high I've considered dropping it down. Plus I was told LR Recommend when towing a heavy trailer or loaded heavy then Moving from Lo to Hi can be good on steep hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddles Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 worn transfer box - mine did the same till I had it reconditioned - perfect now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I can't remember LRs exact directions but in general: accelerate in low range to 4th or 5th. clutch put transfer box in neutral put main box in 2nd or 3rd lift the clutch clutch again and transfer box into high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Won't try it till I've got a little better with the gearbox yet I don't think, Can still get it wrong when dealing with 1 range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Mine does this, I was told if you have a worn box the gears can "shunt" back and forth under changes in load and pop the thing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ok, I have a feeling a Reconditioning of the Transfer box may have to sit on the back burner for a while! Still works in high and that's all I need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It might not be difficult, I've had both my LT230's apart and they're not rocket science (by contrast I would not even think about opening an LT77 or R380, not my idea of fun). The earlier ones have shims on the intermediate gears which (apparently) wear and cause this shunting, the later ones are taper roller bearing so perhaps new bearings or maybe there's a shim/spacer/preload to be looked at. Could be worth asking someone like Mr Ashcroft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Before worrying about reconditioning or replacing transfer boxes, I would first try putting it in to low when you are on the move. Just put the gearbox into neutral when rolling along at 1-2mph and push your hi-lo lever into low. I suspect it wasn't engaging fully and as soon as you put some load on it, it would jump out. Try this method for moving into low and high as it works all the time. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 As Steve says above try that first. it may also be just worn linkage which can be adjusted in situ (see if its loose when in Low) as for Low to High I can't remember LRs exact directions but in general:accelerate in low range to 4th or 5th. clutch put transfer box in neutral put main box in 2nd or 3rd lift the clutch clutch again and transfer box into high i thought LR went with this accelerate in low range to 4th or 5th. approx 20mph clutch in put transfer box in neutral clutch out clutch in put main box in 2nd clutch out clutch in Transfer box into high clutch out and all this whilst covering the footbrake with the right foot. and weaving a way between traffic and trying to be quick so you dont loose momentum! But as you say it works with your suggestion Gromit, and on some you can do it all in one. especially a works car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob90 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I always change from high to low at very low speed maybe 2-3 mph by double de-cluching and into second gear low box. and also I double de-cluch changing up mine used to jump out occasionally but doing this it never done it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 if it still pop out after a fiddle and some lube then just put a bungee chord from the passenger grab handle on the it when you need it in low range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob90 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I just get the Girlfriend to hold it for me Cheers. and still use the bunjee cord for the shifter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 i thought LR went with thisaccelerate in low range to 4th or 5th. approx 20mph clutch in put transfer box in neutral clutch out clutch in put main box in 2nd clutch out clutch in Transfer box into high clutch out and all this whilst covering the footbrake with the right foot. Yeah, that probably is the party line. There are way too many clutches in there though. Might work while sitting parked in your driveway, but while actually driving......

JST Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 it does work but as mentioned there are other ways that work just as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dew110CSW Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Don't know if it's related, but I've also found that on long drives the Transfer Box lever (Metal Piece below the knob) can get rarther warm. Not too hot that you cannot hold it but warm none the less, and warm air comes in through the seat box. Don't know what thats indicating but hope it's not serious.
