Thread: While coasting the drive went

transfer case popped out of high?

I hope your brave enough to reply to Mikes suggestion..How many times has that happened to all of us...I usually leave mine in Neutral overnite
In the dark by the time a theif gets it started and works out the problem I will have enough time to beat the living life out of them , load them in the empty 44 drum and head off fishing for the day about 35km out at sea

I recall faffing around with the centre console on my D2 - removing all the bits - and to do so I had to put the High/low into neutral.

After putting all the bits back in I decided to go to the pub, popped the car into reverse - nothing - popped it into drive nothing.

Stripped the whole lot down again, had I missed anything - yes of course I had missed something - the high/low was in neutral - selected high - and off I went with a very red face

..................plus I was late for the pub

No it's not his tranfer lever.
As I said we was driving when it happened at say 100kph

A favourite trick of mine when leaving the pub is to find an unlocked mates 4x4 and put the transfercase in N.
Given their state when leaving the pub they dont work the problem out,they shouldnt be driving anyway.The vehicle is normally still there next day

It can still pop out if not properly engaged at 100 kph.

And would it cause the burning rubber type smell? He was stuck and joined the RACV on the spot, they had to tow him.... if it was a transfer lever then surely he and the RACV bloke would have picked it?
Anyway he has it at a service centrte, so will find out early next week.

And a burning rubber type smell?

any oil coming from the bellhouging drain? how about smoke/vapours?

If it was an auto I could sling you a short list of clutches and internal brakes that could have done it but in a manual Id be thinking its only really the clutch plate getting a sudden bath of oil or suffering face shredding that would do it but then youd have oil or debry coming out of the bell housing drain...


assuming youve proved the tcase is in gear and the box is in gear the only thing left is the clutch
