my pajero's transfer case is stuck, the shifter is locked??

Post by blue_vl_t »

hey guys, i have a problem.
i have a NA 1984 swb pajero, it has a holden v8 motor and turbo 350 auto box with a Marks 4wd auto to transfer case adaptor.
i have been having trouble shifting gears from 2wd to 4wd and low 4wd, i'm not sure what other people do, put the auto in park to shift or roll on slowly in gear while you shift??
because the problem is the shifter is stuck in what i think is the neutral position, i cannot get drive at all and the front driveshaft is locked solid too.

so the car can roll fowards and back, but no drive to the wheels, the transfer case must be stuck between gears or something. the gearlever is jammed solid.

anyone able to help??
cheers simon

hey man, as simple as it sounds... have you checked the oil in the t/f case? if its too low the gears could seased (spellings not my strong point:))

if the oil is ok, and the shifter is stuck check the mounts. Maybe they have twisted or broken under all that torke?
