FAQ - Marks4WD Part Time 4WD Kit
Information
Some 80 Series LandCruiser’s are fitted with longer splined CV shafts. The spacers are used to correct the end float.
A vehicle fitted with a viscous coupling does not have a centre diff lock button on the dash.
The viscous coupling is no longer required & removed from the transfer case during installation of the Part Time 4WD kit
High 4WD – Lock in the Free Wheeling Hubs & push the Centre Diff Lock button
Low 4WD – Lock in the Free Wheeling Hubs & engage Low4 with the gear lever (the Centre Diff Lock button can be depressed or not – the transfer case will lock as soon as the lever is moved)
No, this will cause wind up of the driveline and could cause the possible failure of the transfer case, differentials or axles.
