Thread: Wheels wont move when diff is engaged

You cant put a diff in neutral rather a gearbox.
So the fact you can roll rules out diffs i would think.
I imagine its either gearbox or transfer box.

Putting it in low lock does not help?

So in gear and you rev it and nothing happens? Could be the clutch gone. Rev it all you like and nothing will happen.

I think he meant his CDL neutral? I know it's silly but is it engaged properly?
Otherwise what hall said clutch, auto could have fluid leak but not your problem.

If it was a fried clutch you would know by slipping first off but also the horrible smell it creates.
He said it wont move unless in neutral which i took as locked up when not in neutral?? Perhaps i was wrong. That would suggest box or transfer i would think?

If it still moved (rolled) while in gear then its something else like a doughnut gone, thats why i asked about cdl locked so it can eliminate that. Clutch would also be possible.
Do they run hydraulic clutches on discos? If so it could even be out of fluid but im not sure if its hydraulic.

Mmmmm burning clutch smells lik burning hair haha I have no clue about the clutch mines an auto.

I wonder if he sorted it?

Yes it was fully engaged even tried low range still no movement at all, i had to jack up one of the wheels and spin it to release pressure for it to be able to roll at all.
