I have a bit of an issue with low range. when engaged, as soon as the transmission is under a bit of duress, I lose drive to the front axle.
Today I had a bit of a tinker and it would seem that the lever is being stopped by a bracket, the shape of an inverted V.
The question is, what is this bracket for? It appears to be a stop for the lever, but why would you need that?
The gearbox is a replacement and the 4wd low is in a different position to the original box, if this is the bracket from the original box then that may be why it doesn't work properly. The original box was a 5 speed with a push button for 4wd, this one is an all mechanical 5 speed.
Can I just take the angry grinder to the bracket to free up the lever a bit?
here is 4x2
Then 4H
and then 4L
On the original box, if I remember right, the 4wd was engaged by a switch, to then select 4L you went across to the left and then forwards. Now it's a all mechanical and for 2H the lever is left and forward, 4H is pull the lever back, then 4L is pull across to the right. I'm thinking then it should push forwards but it is being blocked by the bracket
