Maybe different vehicles require a different technique.
When I first bought mine at 112k, I'm pretty sure it had had little offroad use and certainly no serious 4WDing.
I tried all sorts of things to get an effortless shift to and from low range, like easing the clutch out.
What works best for me is to try to organise it so that I drive the vehicle a few cms either forward or back so that it will rock back when I hit the clutch.
If I nudge the lever in that split second when there is no load on the transmission, it is almost like the proverbial hot knife through butter. The only resistance is obviously just the ball and spring that locates it in each position.
It works even better since I tightened up the screw I had trouble with here http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...tml#post834983
I'm convinced that on mine what works is ensuring there is no load at all on the transmission.
Of course, as I'm sure Blknight.aus would be keen to point out, having a slush box instead of something you have direct control over, might require a different technique.:p
