I'd do the same from low to high.



Being an automatic you can't 'change on the fly' so to speak like you can in a manual - talking low range to high range here obviously.

Actually shifting on the fly is easy as, can do low to high without dropping the auto out of gear quite easy

It basicly states to reduce speed to less than 8KM/H, select nuetral, move from high to low, select D or R as needed.
Same for going low to high.

Both the Disco and RRC slip in easy when moving, to quick and you get a horible noise;)

That's it! Works and even the done procedure from factory, the slight rolling allows the gears to align so the dogs drop in

Keep in mind they aren't a synchromesh transmission, so that's why it's not quite the same

If you end up in neutral on the transfer and not moving what so ever, select neutral on the transmission, apply force to high/low and with your second hand slip into drive, when you move off be sure to apply pressure on transfer lever after loading up and then back off to make sure it's home, otherwise you may well drop out of gear on the transfer.... Violently

I have found gearbox must be in neutral and if it doesn't slot in foot of brake and it will slid in.

As JazzaD1 mentioned, you should already be there if it is that bad. Once I am off the beaten track, and on low speed roads, I engage low range then, and drive it around like that until I am back on the black top, or when the road would allow for higher speed. I find my old beast is a much better car to drive in low range, and it is a lot happier (mine is a manual though, so this saves me from riding the clutch all the time). You can still get up to 50 or 60, so you aren't really limiting yourself by doing this - remember, it is a constant 4WD, not some half arsed attempt of a vehicle that you can't drive around in 4WD or low range when you are on a hard surface... Like AlienD2 says - change while going slowly - it will soon tell you if you are going too fast...:p
