Hi/Lo lever vibrations?

[KERRSURF]

On mine it's just the button vibrating as light pressure on the button stops the noise. My solution is to put an elestic band on there to stop the rattle. Saves loads of time and money!

Yeh, cause those rubber grommits are expensive!

Engine and/or gearbox mounts I reckon.

I was thinking that, but without wanting to plant the seed of an idea... I was hoping for someone who had cured it.

Was like that on my 2.4, I wedged a bit of paper in there. Probably caused by the same thing, just a little more pronounced on the 3.0. I'd like to find the problem and fix it this time rather than treat a symptom, thanks for the idea though.

must be the mouting point, remove the lever and check.

I did it again, not used to quick replies on here.

I'll have a poke around see what I can see, thanks.

I edited as you were posting, sorry.

Is the button an easy fix or the vibration?

That'll be the engine then. Mine does the same, I accept this as normal with a thunking great diesel. H

Thanks, that's a bit of a bugger then.

It was tolerable on the 2.4, I've had it over five years and it hasn't got any worse, but it's more noticeable on the 3.0.

It's not too bad it goes as soon as the revs rise or if I rest my hand on the lever, but it is annoying. If no one has a cure I might remove the gaiter and try wrapping some pipe insulation round the lever see if it has any effect.

The 4wd button on the side has a small rubber washer behind it.
Once this goes the button vibrates like an angry wasp.

Yeah does on the 2.4, but the button is ok on the 3.0 it's the whole lever.

Hi guys,

I've got some vibrations coming up the Hi/Lo lever on my 3.0 at idle. It's a '95 KZN130, my 2.4 does it too, both auto's.

Is there a common cause of this? If not any idea where to check first.

Thanks,

Dodge
