<< < (2/5) > >>

Miniman:
Diff lock mate its jumping out of and also some times it feels tight like the hand brake is on when ya try and set off.

Will have a look at the gator...

Edge:
I'll be watching this post closely, my 90 has suddenly started to jump out of "low-box", scared the bejeezus out of me at Drumclog reversing down a "cliff/steep hill" it suddenly jumped out of gear and i started really moving downhill fast  :shock: , "it was a very long way to the bottom", luckily i managed to stop before the sheer drop.
Someone mentioned something to do with the syncro :?:

JD LWB:
I'm having a similar problem with my 1990 110 (original t/box - i think).  It will engage the diff-lock sometimes, but jumps straight out again.

Also, it jumps out of first gear (main g/box) in both high or low range when under load (ie going down a steep hill).  That scared the bejeezus out of me the first time it did it (at Malvern last year) and has cought me out a couple of times since (nothing damaged thankfully).

Miniman:
Its very shocking when ya in low going down a steep hill and it jumps out......then ya off like a bat out of ****. Mine is ok if there is a passanger to hold it in...

mark.yellow.series.3:
sorry chris, sounds like the gearbox is in need of some TLC, ie recon. as i said mine is jumping out of gear, due to a worn out box.
hope its a simple fix.
