Jumps out of low ratio
« on: June 23, 2008, 17:15:55 »
Hi Folks, my transfer box has started jumping out of low range when selected, usually on gear change. Works fine in high, anybody got any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks
Ady

get under landy and check likages there is two on there but the one that just puts it in low is threaded  you may be lucky and just adjust the nuts up a couple of turns it may be loose if so just lock it back up
just get muddy

just checked my nuts, they were fine, tried to adjust them so it threw the lever over more, does not make any difference.  The is an arm connected to a block with 6 blots in it, is that serviceable do you know?

Thanks for the info

dont know if thisll help, but im havin similar prob with mine except it jumps out of high its ok once its in but it can jump out quite a bit at first, i thought the lever position wasnt right so took the gaiter off and the foam insulation, from here i could see the shaft from the lever in the box to a splined collar so i just moved it round a few splines if you get what i mean.

i know the part you mean automania, but would that just move your problem to jumping out in low instead of previously high?

On my old LT95 it was a worn intermediate shaft and bearings that caused this. Replacement solved the problem.

Sounds like a worn selector fork or similar. Has it been a gradual increase in the problem, or suddenly started happening?

first time its been in low for me, i have not had it long and i don't know if the previous keeper had problems or not . maybe its just lack of use? is the selector fork the bit bolted to the top of the box, that the arm pins to, or is it internal?
