Low box gone AWOL

[wizard]

Hi All

I have a 200Tdi 110 Defender and since owning it the low box doesn't enguage (had it a year)

I took the transmission tunnel out yesterday and all the linkages seem to be fine,one has a slight bit of play but it all seems to operate ok.

There doesnt seem to be enough movement when pushing the lever forwards(if that makes sence)The normal Hi position seems to be where i would expext neutral to be, and the neutral position is where i think the low box should enguage.

Is there some way of adjusting this without taking the box out.

regards

Try taking the high/low selector off the top of the transfer box and seeing if the grub screw is loose in there or not as I had a similar loss of low range which was caused by the grub screw becoming loose.

Could simply be that the selector is mounted at the wrong position on the splined shaft. Hi should be backwards so I would try that first. Easy to see and do with the tunnel out.

Thanks for the reply's so far.

If I get time today i will have a look at the spline/selector arrangement, that sounds like the easiest option.

Well its all sorted. Low box has returned.

I moved the splided selector back to get the lever in the right position,but it still would not engauge low range.

While moving the lever back and forth I noticed that the bolt through the linkage on the transfer box was fowling the gearbox casing. I took the top bit of the transfer selector off and turned the bolt around and bingo, its all good.

thanks for the advice.
