Hi.
Shifting between high and low range in my 1991 80 Series Landcruiser has become very difficult due to stiffness. I have no doubt that this is due to a buildup of dust and dirt in the shift mechanism.
Is there an easy fix for this? Removing the gearbox/transfer case is probably beyond my capabilities. I am hoping I can get to it from within the cabin.
I will have the carpet and seats out over the next few days and so it presents an opportunity to fix it if I can.
Thanks in advance.
Jack

Hi Jack,
I have had the same problem in 1993 80 series.
all l did was pull all the pull everything off the top eg gear knobs , rubber boots, then you can get to the shifter very easy.
all l did was pull it off and give it a good spray with CRC or WD-40 to give it a good clean, dry it out and then coat it in graphite to help with it not sticking again for a while.
Very easy fix, l have had to do it a few times after going in some deep holes with mud and water.
hope this helps,
David Will
