Thread: Where exactly on transfer box is actuator?

I got under vehicle yesterday but couldn't see it. Is it on the top & out of sight? I would like to install some sort of lever to actuate if only from under vehicle. Anyone done this? In cabin would be nice but a lot of work & expense.

It's on top above and in front of the Double Carden joint.

This will give you an idea

Hi Redback,
Is this a commercial CDL kit? It appears that it uses a bracket mounted to transfer case & a clutch cable or similar. Wouldn't be too hard to fabricate. Do you have any more pics/details?

It's an 03/04 D2a factory CDL.

In projects and Tutorials is my install of this factory CDL, It's still on page 1 I think, I bought it second hand from AMV in Victoria.

Price $375, give Bundalene a PM, he may have one, the prices have gone up though.

To be nitpicking... it is behind (rearwards) from the DC joint, not in front of it .

This weekend I tried to actuate the spiggot using a 10mm open ender, for the first time.
The easiest way I could find was to lie on my back under the vehicle (head to front, feet to back), and place my right hand up past the passenger side of the double cardan joint, and reach up over the top of the front output housing.
You can actually position your head from here and see the spigot.
I did this in my car port with the car on ramps for a bit of practice.
How the hell I am going to manage this up the bush, I don't know.
The under body linkage is the next priority.
cheers,

Also when you do turn on your CDL make sure that you have the car running and you won't loose your TC and ABS, if you do turn the car off and on while the CDL is in, they will come on also, it sucks... I have heard of people cutting a wire to stop it from doing that, does anyone know which one it is?
