Towing L322 with auto box | |
I needed to take my non-starting 3.6 TDV8 to a local specialist. As it is an automatic and I had to tow it, I removed the prop shafts. When I picked up the car later, I learned that there was no need to remove the prop shafts. There apparently is a fuse which can be inserted to force the transfer box into a neutral position. This would allow towing, but they were not forthcoming on more info about the fuse. Can anybody throw some light on this fuse please ?
BTW, there was an upside to this story. The car has been plagued with a transmission whine for more than two years. One specialist thought it was the transfer box. With an opportunity to examine the rear prop, I discovered that the centre bearing was worn out and the rubber housing had deteriorated very badly. New bearing circa £30 and the whine has gone.
