Hello folks,
I recently bought a HDJ81 with a manual transmission. According to the model number it used to be an automatic.
Now I got the following questions/problems that I couldnt answer even after googling and searching the forum for a while.
The car has all diff locks, and a CDL switch installed. As far as I can tell the CDL is permanently locked (in all drive modes I get binding when steering hard).
Both the front and rear can be engaged from the switch and will also lock (through test driving).
The CDL light in the dash used to be off, I found the sensor was not connected and I will replace it this week (the wiring works as I have shorted the sensor connector and the dash light lights up). The front and rear lock lights do blink when engaged and keep blinking when locked.
When changing the sensor I noticed there is no actuator motor for the center diff (at least not where I would have expected it after my research). Also from my research I believe that the transmission is an H151 (?!).
I found another picture on the forum that shows the same transmission without the actuator motor and I was wondering how is the CDL engaged?
Here is a picture of the transmission (which was out of the car for a leak) and from spot where I would have expected the actuator motor.
My guess and fear is now that when the transmission was changed to manual, it wasnt done right and now the CDL is permanently locked without any possibility to unlock it.
I hope someone can shed some light on this.
