DF1 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The hi-lo gear lever wont move into low range. The diff lock is working fine. It is about six months since I used low range. It's 2006my, thought it would be a bit soon for seized bits and pieces. Does it look like i'll have to delve into the box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 How have you tried selecting it just pushing the lever? Does the lever move at all? Try the LRE way engine running main gearbox in a fwd gear. clutch in foot brake applied. Apply pressure to the transfer lever (in this case pushing it fwd) As you do slowly lift the clutch a little at a time until the transfer lever moves and engages as soon as the lever moves, clutch back in check its engaged by lifting clutch slowly feeling for biting point the whole time the engine should be running and the vehicle stationary. By allowing the main gearbox to rotate independently of T box normally ensures selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'll second that way of doing it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I put main box in neutral, let the vehicle roll slowly, then push forward into low. If i can't roll, i use it in a gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinspragg Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Either of these ways work for my transfer case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbs Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Perhaps being a little more forceful may help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
