In a recent post comment was made regarding selection of 4wd with hubs out?
As I have have a steep driveway the only way I could reverse up the slope was to either wait until the engine was hot then use plenty of revs and slip the clutch a bit OR select low range and sedately reverse up even with a cold motor.
Problem was the kink in the drive which caused transmission to tighten up (felt like the handbrake was on) and also required back and
forth movement to disengage 4wd.
To cut a long story short, converted to manual hubs (approx $200) and now have low range 2wd which is also real handy when trying to fit the Tvan in a tight spot ie.like every time we get
home.
Been using this setup for 6 months and really pleased with the difference - definitely no adverse effects on hubs etc. and gets around what is basicly a turbo lag problem ie no revs no guts. Sons 3 ltr Patrol has no problem at all.
Happy Travelling
