Don’t think it’s healthy for the DMF with the manual transmission though.
does make a clatter

If the box is in neutral, there can be no effect on the DMF, knocking it into gear and dropping the clutch while being towed on the other hand.................................

That was long time ago and it still pulls.

I thought that fuse 11 was only relevant for the auto box?

No, puts transfer box into neutral, full stop.

I do know that, but it's not relevant for towing with the manual box which was the point in question.

Oddly enough it still says to put it in to tow the manual in the owner's manual.

^^^ it does.

So manual R380 does not require you to remove the fuse for the Tbox???

The fuse is never fitted on the manual or auto, fitting it selects transfer neutral.

Omly if you want to sit revving the engine and going nowhere.

So I plug it in to be towed?

Yes, assuming the range change motor is working

Most of the time. If it won’t change over there’s a sweet spot between 3rd/5th, hold the stick there and it changes.

Sounds like youve got a sticky neutral switch,looks like a reverse light switch.

We could have an LED for that too

there is a plastic collar in the rod that moves or brakes, it was in one of the tsb, which means box out selector of and repair or you pull of the connector and put a jumper wire in , just dont press the low range with out the clutch down or in neutral.
i tried to change my neutral switch but you can not get to it

There is the plastic cam recall too sometimes.

Just realised we’ve destroyed someone’s thread

Best of luck getting thread back on track and good luck with your project.

RangeRoller dt · Jan 23, 2020

I tried to google it but it didn’t work.

Just brought me back here

badfluffy · Mar 10, 2020

if anyone's still watching is the normal state of the transfer box shift motor in high gear or does it do a self test everytime the ignition is turned on?
