90 Gearbox probs. HELP......Might be me...

(1/5) > >>

Miniman:
Hi guys. Bought my first 90 2 days ago and its totaly different to my series...he he.

Took it off road tonight to test the gearbox and it seems very tight in LOW DIFF LOCK.

Also its very hard to get into DIFF LOCK.

Seems to jump out of DIFF LOCK aswell.

What can ya tell me......???

landraver:
Mine will jump out of diff lock when you first engage, but if you start to drive whilst forcing the lever into the difflock position then you'll feel it engage properly & I've found that it stays there no probs.

Miniman:
It also seems very tight when setting off in low diff lock just like ya got the handbrake on...!   I mean very tight.

smo:
Jump out of difflick or jump out of low box??

I wasnt aware that it could jump out of difflock - its a sideways motion with no "gate" to engage, its just a smooth right to left shove, quite still on most though.

Low box however you need to really engage whilst in gear, stationary, and slowly bring up the clutch as you move the lever back (or forward) and youll feel it positively engage into hi/lo box and then it wont jump out.

defenderdan:
Check that it is not the gator. I used to have a 90 that found diff lock in low box too much of a stretch for the gator and it pulled the lever back into neutral. Easy to test, just pull the gator off.
