transfer troubles! help!

[rocky!!!]

A while back I purshased a new transfer case from the daihatsu dealer in sunny coast. Got it fitted by mechanics and stuff but turns out they gave me a transfer for a newer rocky, with auto locking hubs. My rocky is 1989 model, 2.8l deisel.

Wondering if there is some (inexpensive) way to just modify something so I can actually use 4x4. If you cant tell already, i dont no much about mechanics.

But please help! i havent been 4x4ing for months!

It doesnt have anything to do with the hubs.
Sounds like they put a PUSH BUTTON/VACUM select 4wd transfer

Does yours have 4WD button on the dash or do you select 4x4 on the the transfer lever.

[rocky!!!]

Yeah, mine has the transfer lever. That's whats got me stumped.
Just recently went to the beach and found out 4x4 does work when i lock the hubs in, but I think it is turning my tranfer, front drive shaft and diff constantly as i have no way to disengage 4x4 because of the crapppy electronic thing that the PUSH BUTTON/VACUM type has.

Such a pain in the ass problem ay!

thanks heaps for replying too, i was totally expecting people to avoid this question haha

I think the fulltime has a bolt underneath as an override, to force 2wd or fulltime, I've seen something about it in the manual.

I'm confused, it seems like you are saying you have both lever and push button select...Have I missed something?

[Tansy]

Might be cheaoer and easier to return vehicle to them and have them fit the correct case...it is their screw up after all...should be covered by their warranty???

Well, in fact he is correct. The later push button cases also had a lever. You pushed the button to engauge 4H, then pulled the lever to engauge N or 4L.

Its a shame. In Gladstone, I have a complete rolling SWB chassis. 2.8 motor, gearbox, transfer case, front and rear axles, that I want to get rid of cheap, probably much much cheaper than what you paid for just your box, and its a lever case too.
