A while back, I had bit of bother with my 90 who is still, sadly parked on the drive, but after the worlds worst/best act of procrastination, I once again have oil on my hands.

The problem was, I think, related to either the transfer or main gear box - LT77/LT230.

After hearing a quick 'brrrr' when driving, I found that the high/low lever was free to move back and forth, even though it would engage both gears.

Then, the main gearbox wouldn't engage/disengage unless the high/low was in neutral.

It sounded like something - a spring I was hoping - had broken and got churned up in the mesh. I've drained the boxes but only clean oils emerged.

What is it that keeps the high/low lever in place when engaged as I'm sure this is the root cause? Unless someone may know or speculate otherwise!
 
if you cant change gear box gears unless its in neutral in t/box then clutch isnt clearing ,hi/lo has a detent spring on drivers side, top rear side ,adjusted by 6mm grub screw, depends on exact symptoms
