The Land Rover Series One Club presents the gear and levers guide to the Land Rover Series 1. In this video, we explain how the four wheel drive system works across all variants of Land Rover Series one, including the free wheel gearbox system, a permanent 4wd system.
We start with a 1950 Series 1 80inch, giving an overview of the high and low range system.
We explain how the system ‘free wheels’ when in reverse, which is why you only get rear wheel drive in reverse and why you can’t reverse up a slippery hill - and how you can lock the system to get four wheel drive in reverse. This is also very useful for when you are descending a slippery hill, maximising control.
We then move on to the four by two select gearbox and how this is a more conventional four wheel drive system - but it is only accessible in low range.
Then we move to the two wheel drive selectable four wheel drive system, which operates differently again. In normal road driving, you get rear wheel drive to reduce transmission wear - but this system can now engage four wheel drive in high range… but there is a trick to getting it back out of four wheel drive! Plus, low range is now engaged permanently in low range…
