Missing Pin in Diff Lock Linkage?
So looking for some help!! Smile

Recently while driving down a few tracks the Diff Lock decided to give up the ghost! Happily sitting in Low Range but not even feeling like shifting into Lock, although the stick was freely moving!

After getting underneath today, I think there is a pin missing at the top of the linkage at the selector. Question

Anyone able to shed some light on this!!


What size pin/ bolt should be in there?
What's the best way of replacing it?

I have a 2003 TD5 (I think that makes it a LT230TE Transfer Box / R380 Gear box) Chris

Think there should be a nut and bolt in a TD5 (earlier used a clevis pin and clip).
Mine was missing them also, looking in the back of the Haynes manual I scribbled the following:
Bolt - FB105051L
Washer (x2) - WA106041L
Nut - NY105041L

The parts manual shows it as a standard hex nut, I fitted a nylock to prevent it shaking loose. IIRC the bolt is m5 but maybe worth checking that. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

Thanks Harry.O! Thumbs Up

Yeah it looks like a M5 x 25mm. Might go down the stores at work and see what is lying around!!

Using a Nylock sounds like a good shout!! Chris

Or even better, fit an M6x25 as the hole is probably worn anyway. I filed out the slot in the lever arm slightly to get it to fit. Linkage will operate much better than if it is worn with the M5. Done this on two R380s now.

Hi Steve,

That’s a good shout. I’ll get two bolts and see what they are like regarding wear.

Think it would be worth throwing a bit of grease in there too? Help keep it loose? Chris
