does anyone know anything about the solenoid on top of the gearbox that selects 4WD.
my mate has just aquired a fourtrack and there is something amiss with the solenoid apparently.
cheers for any help in advance!!
-
I don't know about the solenoid, but a mate had the auto freewheeling hubs stick on his Fourtrack, so there was no drive to the front. Might also be worth a look.
-
hes not got it just yet but ill have a look at the front hubs first, before i start lookin at the gearbox. cheers!
-
right, ive had a look at the fourtrack now and there is no drive to the front prop from the transfer box at all.... if he selects 4L on the transfer lever i would have assumed that it would put drive to the front prop. am i correct in my assumption?
also the 4H button on the dashboard doesnt light up when pressed in.... apparently it operates a solenoid to engage 4WD high ratio.
any suggestions or known remedies guys please!!?

it could be the wireing on the solenoid or the solenoid itsself i had a h reg was same when i bought it never fixed it as i got a old manual transferbox and fitted that worked much better and never any more problems while i owned it.i seem to rember the solenoid being a small plastick bit on the top of the transfer box with a pipe comeing off it to the box never tryed fixing i so never did work out how it works. but if you can get one id put a older transfer box on so it dosent do it again as ii dont think the solenoid s like geting wet and muddy.

cheers matey, ill pass the advice on!!

i had the same problem turned out to be 1 of the vacume switch.s on the transfer box
