stuck in gear

<< < (3/3)

Lucy1978:
something else to look for is check that the nut on the end of the mainshaft is tight and the tab washer is engaged, this can wind itself up against the bearing at the back of the box if the  tab's not engaged properly, and produces those symptoms.
the nut is on the shaft on the right in this photo, you can access it through the top transfer box cover via the hatch in the seat box.



on the thought of engaging two gears at once, there should be interlocks between the selecor shafts that prevent this happening. check that both the detent springs are in place either side of the seletor cover on the main box.

detend spring are under these covers


and look a bit like this
