Can any damage be done. Is it safe to drive? |

Your posting doesn't quite make sense. Potential problems if not reversed?
Perhaps if you told us a little more about how you shipped your Disco, we could give better advice. Shipping companies vary, as do the methods of shipment. Did you place the Disco in a container yourself? Is the shipping company driving the vehicle onboard? You might want to ask your shipper to see how they shipped it. |

Sorry. Good questions. Im unsure, but, Im told they are shipped by sea and LR de-activate the transmission somehow! The dealer is meant to reverse this process. I dont know what they do, but the vehicle can still be driven if not reversed, but, the transmission is not fully operable. Is the same process required for towing a LR. Ive heard you must put a LR on a flat bed. Why? Thanks for reply. |

I guess what he means is that the transfer case is put in neutral????!!!!! I'm not sure about if all the transfer cases have this ability but that's what I think he is talking about.
LR of flatbed: it's a full time 4 wheel drive |

only models without the TC shifter have to be flat bedded you can tow one from either end if you put the TC in neutral. |

Transfer case is put in neutral. What does that mean or do. Can the car be driven in this position? This is something the mechanics do, not the consumer. Sorry to be so vague. Im not a mechanic. |

I'm not sure if you are talking about a D1 or a D2. I'll assume a D1.
The transfer case is what transfers power from the engine to the wheels. It is operated by a shift lever located in front of your tran*mission shifter. The lever operates in a H pattern. Moving the lever fore and aft switches between high and low range. Moving the lever from left to right locks and unlocks the center diff. Back (towards you) and to the right hand side of the H is the normal driving position. This is 4 wheel high with the diff unlocked. When the engine is running, a bell should be chiming if the transfer case is in neutral.
To tow a D1, you have to move the tran*fer case to the neutral position (center of the H). This prevents strain on the automatic transmission. If this was the case, you will notice that the vehicle will not move when you put the tran*mission in Drive (start the car first). Also, be careful, because Park will not work if the transfer case is in neutral. So be sure to leave the parking brake on.
To engage the diff, put the transmission in neutral and wait for 5 seconds for everything to come to a stop spinning. Grab ahold of the tran*fer case shifter and pull it to the right and then back (towards you). It will require some force to get it to engage. If it does not go, put the transmission in drive for 1/2 second and then shift it back into neutral. Try moving the transfer case lever again. You should be able to engage it. You will know when it engages because it makes a loud clunk and the chime (bell) should stop.
Thanks,
Mike B. |
