Hi
I have a 1984, 60 series 'Cruiser with a 5 speed g'box H55F and lever on the floor shift for high-low range.
Recently I have noticed, usually in the middle of a river as I am stuck!, that 4WD does not always engage in low range. With a bit of experimentation we have determined that the free-hubs are OK, that 4WD in High range works just fine and that Low range does engage and work it is just that the front wheels are not always driven.

On a slippery ramp with low range selected, low range driving (via rear wheels till they slip) & hubs in, once the vehicle loses traction I am sitting there with a rear wheel spinning & zip at the front as the front prop shaft is not turning.

However subsequently after shagging about with high range and 2WD sometimes we do get 4WD in low in the same situation!?!?

I am guessing a worn low range selector shaft or fork in the t'case which sounds like $$$$$, can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Thanks
Gerard
