Might be obvious to some , but is the box in neutral??

[brownie787]

no its not in neutral,mechanic came out and made diagnosis right away...saying transfer box....hmmmm...that was quick i thought...no looking, nothing just playing around with gears.

Never heard of a transfer case just giving up.

Did it suddenly happen or has the truck been stood unused for a while?

Does the transfer lever shift positively into each position (L4-N-H2) with no sloppyness?

Have you tried selecting L4 to see it the truck drives?



p.s. any gearbox/transfer case from 1991-1995 will fit.

[brownie787]

no its all good no sloppyness,its as before,but when lift the clutch up no movement....and when you turn the engine off it makes an awful noise....but mechanic said its not clutch...puzzled...dont want to fork out for transfer/gearbox if its not that....will have to trust my mate the mechanic...he seems to know about these.

I think it's your dual mass flywheel thats broken.

[brownie787]

can u please explain...the engine starts ok with no noise,bits of rattling sometimes then when turning the engine off,it rattles and makes noise...is the flywheel problem expensive and whats the way round it...just tryin to diagnose b4 i commit to buying new gearbox...thanks bushwacker for info

dual mass flywheel is a spring loaded flywheel an if the springs broke the flywheel wont put power to the clutch an then it cant get power to the box so no drive
