Thread: Gearbox mounts and Transfer Case lever

There isn't much in the lever itself that is going to require repairing. Perhaps cable adjustment or loose mounting bolts.

If access is anything like doing the CDL lever changeover you'll need to remove the centre console to get access. Once you can get at the mounting there are 4 bolts that hold the lever in place.

I'm thinking it'll be easier than removing the whole console. On RAVE I found this :
"4. Release clips securing transfer box lever gaiter
to centre console and remove knob and gaiter." (This is the start of removing the console)

Had me stumped. But I just had another poke at it and by pushing into the gaiter and feeling around was able to curl a finger around the plastic spring clips and pull them towards the lever (into the middle of the gaiter), if that makes any sense. No wonder LR didn't bother trying to describe it! Release each clip at a time while applying upward pressure the gaiter and each side pops up. The clips are located mid-way on each of the sides.
