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.

I have a stiff knob. Should I lube it up?
