Thread: Diff Lock

mine unlocked twice on the weekend i thought it was just me not putting it thru properly i was switching between high and low for about five hours and thought i might have made mistake when it did pop out after a couple of gear changes it jumped into neautral........

Mines not coming out of gear its coming out of diff lock and there seems to de 3 positions on the stick instead of 2

working for a transmission and gearbox company i have seen this a few times, the pivot on the selector fork in the transfer case has a brass bush which can sometimes wear. I had it on mine when i first bought it but using esso lt71141 oil a decent stabilizer has seemed to fix it in mine. it mainly happened when it was hot. As for the ones we have repaired it is mainly due to lack of lubrication, due to oil leaking and stuff all oil in the transfer case. hope this helps

I am using good oil penrtie MTF 95 So does this meen I have to remove the box to fix it

you push it to the left and it klicks back to the middle push it to the right and it clicks back to the middle

Move the vehicle slightly - drive forward or back, so the gears mesh in and engage.

or, I'm not understanding what you're saying.

grab hold of the diff lock leaver and push it to the left and it locks the diff then move it back to the unlock position and there is a small clik and diff unlocks but then I can move it to the right as well and back again and get the same click I seem to have a mistry spot that does nothing Problem is when in the left position and locked it is only just in and has come out twice on its own

All I can say is that mine has two definate positions, it never feels like it wants to stop in the middle.
When engaging and disengaging I found it neccessary to put the gearbox in neutral to ensure the cdl went in easily and properly.
