Oil for Ferret Fluid Coupling?

[Robin Craig]

Malcolm,

as far as the transfer case change, of all the different Ferrets I have driven, I think it is 9 in total now, the change has always been done in neutral.

What I have found is that it does have to be a swift movement made with purpose.

I would say about one in 100 times it doesn't happen corrrectly and a shut down of the engine enables the change to be made.

I have not proved it but I always have suspected that the failed changes are because the vehicle has been allowed to roll back or forwards ever so minutely while the change is being made and something is now out of alignment.

To counter that I always have my foot on the brake during changes.
