Frozen High/Low Shifter
I have a 91 Range Rover Hunter with an utterly stuck High/Low shifter. After trying the suggested method of engaging low range via the manual and the sticker on the fuse box, I'm slowly grasping the conclusion it's a mechanical problem. I'm a little gun shy about putting full pressure on the shifter as I don't want to break it any more than it already is (if it is at all). Here are a couple of the theories I've gleaned so far from the forums and the like:
1.) The lever itself needs to be greased.
2.) The transfer case needs to be drained and re-lubricated.
3.) A solenoid preventing Low Range from being engaged at high speeds is stuck engaged.
I'm more than game to correct 1 and 2, though the prospect of 3 is pretty scary to an entry level owner like myself. Are there any other suggestions you guys can think of?
