Hi and Lo Range Shifter don't work.

[RageRover]

Basically what the title said. To be specific the Hi and Lo range shifter for the transfer case doesn't shift into "Lo" even when following the instructions in the Owner's Manual. I don't know what's wrong but when I attempt to shift it I feel something in the shifter knob while the motor is running. It is simply frozen and I don't know how to deal with it. My vehicle is a 94 RRC LWB with the 4.2L in it. Any help would be appreciative!

Hi, here is some info from rangeroverremedies site,

Transfer Case Stuck in High
On 93 and up Classics, the transfer case shifter can jam in Hi (or Lo). The problem is usually an interlock solenoid added in '93 to prevent the transfer case being moved out of either Hi or Lo range unless the main gearbox is in neutral and the ignition is switched on. Mike Lenaghan experienced this jam on his 94 RR. He found no reference to the interlock solenoid in the shop manual, though a circuit diagram appeared in the owner's handbook. The two relays in this circuit are under the cubby box tray in the centre console. Mike found the +12V switched feed was not even reaching the first relay; however, even when he suppled +12V directly to the solenoid feed it still failed to work. Removing the solenoid, he found the plunger was stuck and had to be removed so the transfer lever would operate. He replaced the solenoid, minus plunger (to keep dirt out of the mechanical linkage). Full details of these procedures, including fault diagnosis, component location, disassembly and repair can be found in the Transfer Case Stuck in High section on the Repair Operation Details page.

Hope this helps.....
Good luck,
Andy

I see, however i don't even have a manual for my RRC. Where would i get one?

[Landy-Andy]

Some of the best deals can be found on eBay.

There is basically 3 levels of manuals,
1- The one that comes with your RRC (Owners manual).
2- Basic workshop manual (Like Haynes etc..)
3- Detailed workshop manual (Like the pro's use).

These can be found in written form or CD format, all often for sale on eBay,
