Landcruiser Transfer Box - High or Low

Postby SirGerald » Mon Dec 29, 2014 2:54 pm

Hoping that some of your Landcruiser guys will know the answer to this.

We are trying to work out if our trials truck is in high or low range.

There is no leaver on ours however the nob on the top of the xfer box is in the same location as per below (i.e. the flat part is running side to side and not front to rear).

We tried to turn the nob however its not budging and didn't want to force it if its already in low range.

If its in high and we need to therefore turn it, which way and what is the best way to loosen the nob up? Rock the truck back and forward??

undo 6 bolts and lift the cover off and have a look see, if it not moving then may have other issues, rocking it gear may help.

there may be on the side near the pivot a bolt that you can remove and check detent spring ? and ball.. see if that helps also as sometimes they might have a liitle crud and is jambing it a little..

Cheers was trying to avoid removing top panel as can't get to it without removing box or using Mr grinder to modify floor.

Was hoping someone could tell if high or low based on the angle of the nob on top of xfer box. If in low don't need to change.

Just an idea...
Put box in fourth turn input shaft
If rear output turns at similar rotation its hi box
If it turns at twice rotation its low

Could even do it with motor but remove plugs at make it easier

Cheers however Auto so that won't work.

Went out to shed to get something and decided to pop the top off the xfer box. Was easier than I thought and only a few cuts on hands.

Looks like previous owner has modified it so it can't be changed (lucky we didn't try to force to much).

My guess is it would have been locked in low range, however can someone please confirm this before I put it back together? The spacer is located on the front side and therefore holding the slide to the rear.

one would assume this looking at the picture as that part is designed to slide between the gears.. Someone else will chime in too.. very similar to the split case with the sliding fork thingie.. :lol:
