Really good photos and video clips! thanks for doing these, I have never seen the inside of a Terrano Transfer box and no idea until now how it worked - I didn't know it was chain drive.

Well done

Cheers

Cheers mate. I think drive trains are fascinating

You will go far, inquisitive mind like me, so having stripped a transfer box can you tell me an easy way of putting it in low ratio without engaging 4 wheel drive will pay for answer, Rick

Cheers, I'm wanting to take an auto box and a standard fwd transaxle apart as thay look interesting. Think I might browse the local scrappys

. Will upload the vid about putting the transfer box in neutral overnight As I mentioned in the vid

Ah. You're not the only one who'd like that option! Great for slow-speed manoeuvers or towing.

96terrano · 03-08-2012, 11:22

that would be quite cool, but i'm not sure how to do that in the vehicle

i suppose it coul'd be modified as it does get annoying having to keep revercing to un lock hubs

that's the demo of putting transfer in neutral and gearbox in a gear

I'm surprised you have time to upload anything on here, you are always building or taken something apart, good on you

Low range without 4WD is easy. Manual hubs

. Ideal for really slow moving traffic, saves using the clutch all the time.
