I have an 80 Series with 300,000 klm on the clock. It has done much of this in 4x4 (there is plently of slack in the front diff, etc.) On the last couple of trips I have done, it has jumped out of low range while on very steep downhill runs.
I assume this is going to be a worn selector problem, but am I likely to be up for much more than this?
I will probably rebuild the box myself, just not been into this type of box before. Is there anything particularly special about the assembly process that
Gregories manual does not say? Or is this very defunately one for the pro-
shop?
Oh! And Happy New Year to you all!

300,000 I would expect to be dishing out some $$ by now !
Probably would be worth a full going over if it gets you another 300,000klms... May seem excessive but if you plan on keepin it, go the whole hog, if you plan on selling it, trade it in, they wont
test the 4wd!
Some people cringe at having to pay for some parts sometimes that seem to be expensive (
well they usually are arent they!), but if it lasts you another 200,000-400,000klms why argue I think.....
YMMV..

Great offer Truckster, but I like my part-time 4x4 and do not need the box or rest of the bits. (Famous last words!!!) Also
Brisbane based which just makes it all a little more difficult. I'll have a closer look at it all and maybe get back to you on this!
