Gen 2 Montero / Re: 96 SR tach help

« Last post by Shovel on July 19, 2019, 07:43:07 AM »

I haven't encountered that problem myself but I remember that this guy has been recommended for repair service in the past - and even is a Montero owner himself.  https://craigskbh.wixsite.com/speedometer  .     

There are also replacement OE style tachs on yoycart pretty inexpensively.     

Good luck and let us know what you end up doing!

Gen 2 Montero / 96 SR tach help

« Last post by B2Montero on July 18, 2019, 11:12:56 PM »

My tach stays stuck at about 3000rpm when the engine is running. As soon as it starts it jumps up and stays there. Otherwise it sits on the peg like it is supposed to do.  If you poke the gas it will move about 200rpm . I've pounded on the dash to no avail. I thought I read something about a resistor somewhere. Any guidance? Thanks!

I think the center diff was not locking in the Lc position at first.  Everything seems to be working now.  I know another guy around here who had his not locking as well, he did some digging and said if they sit for a while there can be some oil sludge that forms causing the diff to not lock, my rig was in storage for 10 years before I bought it.  After you try it a few times it works.  I am guessing that was my problem.

If your Hubs are unlocked and you out it in 4h unlocked, then you're slipping the center diff.  Good way to destroy your center diff.

Front hubs or front CAD were my first thought except that you said it "slips" in any of the 4wd modes..     it should not slip at all in 4HLc or 4LLc because those are "locked" positions;  power is sent to both axles without slip in the transfer case. 

So there might still be something wrong inside your transfer case, or maybe somebody replaced the shift fulcrum improperly and it's not actually moving the range select sleeve.

OK...  So this is where I feel like a moron, but not completely.  Everything works as it should once I lock the front hubs in.  Why would that matter?  There must be something mechanical that doesn't lock in completely when the front drive shaft is not spinning.

It is a 1994 Montero SR.  Pulled the fill plug in the T-case and a bunch of oil poured out.  Figured I will change the oil as long as I am digging in there.

Was out driving today and happened to try putting the T-Case into 4wd. When it is in any of the 4wd modes the T-Case slips. Everything is fine in 2wd, but in 4wd I get little to no power to the ground...  Going to investigate some more hopefully tomorrow. Any thoughts on where I should start.

What year is your Montero?

I would say it shifts positively into gear.  I am out of town for the holiday but will dig into it more next week.  Start with the simple stuff: fluid, linkages etc...

Does anyone have a good layout of what the internals look like in these things?  I have not seen inside the Mitsu T-cases before.
