Stuck in 4H

[mitsa]

Hi - I am away at Fraser Island at the moment & the mitsa was changing fro 2H / 4H & 4HC ? Perfectly but then when I went to change again into 4HC ? it would not & I am now stuck in 4H - I’ve tried changing while stopped / moving slowly/ forward & reversing & at speed but cannot get it out of 4H - any ideas

Was has been the outcome?
The vehicle still stuck in 4H if you have tried changing back whilst on the tarmac..

Removed the centre floor consoles etc to get to the lever assembly - removed the lever assembly & found the knuckle on the lever assembly tight whilst trying to change gears - got it free & back into 2H thenrefitted it & I am now waiting on the new assembly to arrive then will replace it

Stuck in 4h update

New lever assembly arrived so swapped out the complete assembly & shifting all good now - new assembly cost just under $400 but decided to be safe than sorry.
I have pulled apart the old assembly & found it to be dry so suspect after playing around with it that the 2 nylon bushes - which are an inner & outer with a spring in between jammed as once I starting pushing / playing with the bushes & spring they jammed a few times - appears lack of lube so greased it all up & seems to be shifting ok so will now keep as a spare - upon looking at the new assembly it had been greased so maybe after nearly 9 years the heat melted the original grease ????
If anyone is interested in pics of the lever assembly pulled apart I have some but I’m having trouble attaching them so PM me

thanks for reporting back,

Is it a simple enough job to get some lube in there with the assembly in situ ?

Hi Brett,

The thread is concerning the PB/PC Challenger transfer case and it has the the same transfer case of the Gen 3 Pajero's, I am not sure when in the Gen 4 series the transfer case changed and there wa not longer a direct mechanical link between the transfer lever and the transfer case.

Hey Brett- the transfer lever assembly needs to be pulled out then disassembled to grease up - the PB is a different setup to an earlier post I found about a pajero - send me a PM & I can send you some pics I took learning out on my issue & I can explain the issues I had getting to it - also check the grease spec you use to suit the temp around the lever assembly

My Gen 3 Pajero transfer case was electric.

My PC transfer case is mechanical.
