Transmission wind up

[Bobsaw]

Thanks for the replies. Must admit didn’t feel anything driving home. When I stopped it felt very sudden. I read some of you reversed slowly it would unwind the system. Not sure how true that is.

As I said you need to reverse while steering from lock to lock so the front diff turns more than the back

Soft ground helps too. My old Freelander was constant 4x4 and that would skip on hard lock on tarmac!

I got home yesterday and realised I had driven driven home in 4 wheel drive. I was wondering what the signs of transmission wind up were and if there was a way to reverse them?

 

What vehicle are you in? Different manufacturers have different ideas about what 4WD means, could just be that you used a bit more fuel than necessary.
