Yep, needs to be in neutral and rolling. They loosen up with use though, but I still do it this way as its easier and it wont pop out of gear.

The Rangie sounds like it was a different gearbox. Side to side is usually just the CDL rather than Hi/Lo range.

helps if it's rolling ever so slowly.... drivers' handbook says up to 8km/hr from memory....but IMHE just moving works fine

ie, both for changing up & down (pause for an instant in tc neutral position)

yeah I always find, as my'n was also stiff at one point....

I stop put it in neutral.....move the lever from high to low....roll forward a faction with mhy hand on the lever and if its not in when I did it the first time it goes in with a pop! this way I know its in as I have had it drop out on me before

yeah thanks guys, i got her to change, must have been a bit stiff.
thanks for all your helps guys.

cheers simon

I'll second Dullbird there .... i like to put mine in low range whilst just creeping as you can definately feel it engage completely. Like Dullbird I have had it slip out once whilst going up hill and it was not nice.
