Welcome Hayden! :thumbup:

If it's only low range, then the problem is in the X-fer case, not the gearbox. you might want to look at the condition of the bushings inside the LR shifter housing and on the shifter shaft / lever end. :winkx:

Replaced whole box/xfer case.. different shifter in it. Do they have an adjuster inside where the stick goes at all? Doesn't jump out of any other gear but L4

Howzit Hayden. If you engage 4wd high ratio and drive does it stay in gear. Does it only jump out of gear whilst engaged in low ratio

Another thing to check which might seem silly, is the clearance around the selector lever on the rubber boot and housing.
Seems very strange for the replacement transfer box doing the same thing as the original one

I'm thinking that may be the problem feels like it's going into gear but may not be going in fully I'll check it out
