Good afternoon lads, long time since posting. Quick bug bear... overhauling my 110 1992 2.5 nad ex- for.
Parked up hill for 3 weeks, now I try to move but no traction in main gears or reverse.. all gears move as should but no motion... all wheels are running free, hand brake works fine!
When I put the unit inti Lo or hi ratio she will move...!
I have bled clutch, adjusted foot pedal. Still no movement... only in hi/ lo.
Much appreciated any help. Thank you

It needs to be in Hi for normal operation.

The transfer box needs to be in gear for it to move, be that hi or lo. If it's in the 'neutral ' position it won't go anywhere.
Try 1st gear on the main gearbox and hi on the transfer box and see what happens.

To elaborate, HI is for the high/normal range of gears LO is for the low range of gears for very slow speed.

The selection between is a neutral, just the same as a neutral on the main gear box

lol, cliff notes:

When in neutral the vehicle does not move, putting it in gear and it works.

Maybe we should make this a thread sticky as it could come in useful for lots of other peeps?
