Transfer Gearbox
TRANSFER GEARBOX
USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX
Transfer Gearbox
There are two ways of operating the transfer
gearbox lever; the ‘normal’ method -
recommended for inexperienced drivers - and
the ‘advanced’ method for experienced drivers.
Normal method
Manual gearbox vehicles:
With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, depress the clutch and then move the
lever fully forward (or backwards) in TWO
distinct but positive moves - ‘high to neutral’....
‘neutral to low’ (or vice versa).
If there is resistance to the gear engaging, do
not force the lever. Instead, with the main lever
in gear, release the clutch momentarily and
then try again.
H2591
Automatic transmission vehicles:
The second gearbox (known as the transfer
box) is used to select either the high or low
range of gears.
With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, apply both foot brake and handbrake
and then move the automatic gearbox selector
to the ‘N’ (neutral) position before moving the
transfer lever fully forward or backwards to the
required position.
High range (‘H’)
The high range of gears should be used for all
normal road driving and also for off-road
driving across dry, level terrain.
If there is resistance to the gear engaging, do
not force the lever. Instead, with the engine
running, apply the foot brake and handbrake,
momentarily engage ‘D’ (drive) on the main
gearbox, then return it to the ‘N’ position and try
again.
Low range (‘L’)
Use low range gears ONLY in situations where
low speed manoeuvring is necessary, such as
reversing a trailer or negotiating a boulder
strewn river bed; also use low range for more
extreme off-road conditions where progress in
high range cannot be maintained. DO NOT
attempt to use LOW range gears for normal
road driving.

I bought a 2. hand discovery and I need the 2001 manual.
If you can procure it will be superb.
