I am new to Land Cruisers and this site. I have recently puchased a 97 Cruiser and have come across a problem that I hope someone can help me with.
When reversing up an incline the vehicle will appear to jump out of gear and make a screeching noise. If I back slowly this doesn't happen, only when backing with some speed/torque.
Just out of curiosity I did this engaged in LOW gears. It doesn't seem to be a problem when in low gears.
My question is does this sound like a transmission or transfer case problem??
I'm leaning transfer case but am unfamiliar with Land Cruiser problem areas.
Anyone else encounter this?? Where do I go from here??
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
