Thread: Hey look you can change range on the fly....

It is, if you happened to leave school with no direction in life and chose to join the army because you need to be told what to do, to function a semi-normal life and seldon think for yourself.............and can't shift on the fly correctly

its kinda the reverse of winning lottery really...

you only need to pick all the numbers once..

with the tcase..

you only need to get it wrong once.


how many times do you shift on the fly?

With my LT230 I find that if I am not moving then I usually cannot get it between ranges. Which is why the sticker says to keep pressure on it while you are moving away I suppose.

If I push the clutch in then shift the transfer into neutral then let the clutch out and then push the clutch back in and select the range I want then let the clutch out then I have no trouble with shifting on the fly. However if you do it the way the the sticker says on the Disco you get grind noises sometimes.

I watched a guy in a GU Patrol at the first cutting at Noosa Northshore grind his tansfer into low range. I assume he had an automatic and it was still in drive. It was painful to hear him do it. He was very persistent.

Probably 30 times in the last week alone, while using the ISUZU 120" LT95 whilst doing my fencing in the paddocks then leavin home, I life on the side of a cliff

Probably about elevnteen billion time in my rover driving life, all without fail

MMM, that's scary, the D2 owners manual describes double Declutching to shift from low range to high range. of course this is for manuals and is recommended for heavy towing.

umm yar the green skin dont care its not mine attitude who gives a *&^& and a flying tose. I watched a nco (cpl) back away from a slope that i would get a starlet up which was no steeper than my driveway (and that was with a civy watching as well) and you wonder why the tcase is the way it is. the trging is not as good as its once was but thats life in a big city or is that the who cares attitude

I know that this gear box and tcase was in good nick as I was involved in the install and the running in of it the run in oil came out mickey mouse and with 250km on the box it was handed over. So in less than 50 km A tcase was rooted, why? cause apparently someone cant read.

Charge the pogo.

all the bloody time, since I learnt to drive, oh, over 25 years ago on I don't know how many different types of gearboxes and t/cases.

It's just a bloody dog engagement non synchro gear for gods sake. If you match the revs, no problems.
As duff said Land Rover even say you can do it in the manual.
