My 300tdi is stuck in diflock any thoughts on a cause or solution.
Are the ratio's in a 300tdi transfer box( manual transmition ) the same as a v8 auto transfer box.
Any info would be appreciated.

Just a thought, but have you tried reversing a little way to see if that makes it come out? I know they can jam if you get transmission wind-up. The other trick I've found to work (after coming off a track where I probably didn't need it engaged) is to just dip the clutch - presumably taking the load off the transmission in this way releases the lock.

as matt says try reversing it, work the vehicle back and forward whilst trying the lever it should pop out
yes they should be a similar ratio, i would have thought :D
RRB will be round soon to tell you the correct info :lol:

adam
you jacked a wheel up to see if it spins ?
the switches have a habbit of sticking on the plunger
does it go into difflock fine, or do you have to wait a whilst ?
could be a bust return spring, or you twisted the spline ( wouldnt suprise me :lol:) and its now jammed in
get under and make sure its fully out on the rotor arm though, if theres slop in the lever the wont pull fully out...altho its actually out, the cam on the link will still be making the switch think its in difflock
theres no real reason for it to stay in difflock as there isnt much that goes wrong with it ( he says in haste :roll: :oops: )
if you have nackered it
take the box off and ill strip it for you if ya want, wont take long find out what you broken :lol:
