prado gearbox windup

he has a 08 prado and high low lever is stuck and can not move it 4x4 light is not on, not sure if he can drive it safely

Hi Cliffy,

Drive it backwards for 10 to 15 metres, then try the low lever again.

Good luck,

Jerry.

try either or both:

- if he was driving in a circle before this he needs to drive in the opposite direction

or what i do is:

drive in a straight line in reverse at a quick speed if its safe. usually corrects itself but may need to do it a few times.check his prado manual its in there

if you have troubles searching, try google with pradopoint in the search section as well as what you are looking for

Cliffy, thats unusual. If the light is NOT on, that means the centre diff is no longer engaged (the light is independant of the lever mechanism). That suggests it it OK for him to drive it and get his lever mechanism fixed.
