Thread: is my Transfer case or Gearbox stuffed?

Thanks Graeme, the bracket was one of the things I did check....but no luck everything is looks fine underneath, looks like its something inside the gearbox

Remove the transfer case, then remove the rear housing from the auto you will be able to see the park mechanism to see if it is engaging correctly.
If you then remove the spud shaft you can easily remove the governor to check the 3 sealing rings.
The governor can cause all sorts of problems in the auto.
The only difficult part of this job is removing the transfer case.

Mocky.

Setting up the cable adjustment from scratch might be worth a try in case something's amiss inside the console selector mechanism.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the advise.
I spoke to a transmission guy today and he has confirmed that the gearbox is gone. The forward gear clutch is welded itself on hence why i have drive in park gear and why I have resistance when the selector is in reverse.

Now I have to decide if I rebuild the gearbox or get a good secondhand one.

Let me know if you any of you know of a good second hand auto gearbox on the Brisbane area.

Pity about the dollar else you could get an upgraded unit from ashcroft.

Would be nice and still an option considering the $3,500 ive been quoted to rebuild the gearbox.

Why don't you rebuild it yourself:
