Please send me your old ZF transmission pan and filter

As I recall (manual not presently to hand) the first step in the Ineos-defined process is to put the lever in the mid (neutral) position before operating the screw on the transfer box (hence my deduction that the function of the screw is only to lock the selector).

If someone could devise a method to lock the lever within the cab once neutral was selected I see no reason why this would be less robust than Ineos's recommended method.

There are four holes in the plate on the underside of the shifter into which the spring loaded rod connected to the manually operated collar in the shifter. These four holes provide a positive detent for the high / low / diff lock shifter positions. I wonder if the vagaries in the cable setup would make milling a precise detent in between the H and L holes in the shifter a non starter - not to mention the lack of space between the & L holes.

Yall are overthinking it. The nature of the cable setup provides a decent amount of friction. It would take direct force on the knob of the lever to kick it out of neutral. So unless you plan to get recovered by a monster truck with a chain you should be just fine.

The Ineos diesel has the ZF 8HP76. The above kit will not work. The lever on the h8HP76 is different.View attachment 7917350

Looks as if you could pull down and position some kind of wedge between the lever & the nose of the transmission housing. I wouldn't be surprised if some "special tool" existed to perform this.

This is the "special tool".

But that negates the purpose of this current conversation. You have to assume no access to the underside of the truck when you need this function. So either you cobble a cable setup to actuate the park pawl lever on the trans or you use the Hi/Lo shifter that the Ineos Gods gave you already in the cab.

Absolutely!

I think we all here have understood by now that your favourite is the xfer case N . And it's also mine! Didn't I mention before that I have used it several times already?

However, we should be allowed to discuss alternate methods. I'd rather have one more option than one too few. Not to mention that I believe we should acquire comprehensive knowledge about how stuff we buy works...

Fair enough, you just didn't indicate you were deviating even further off the actual subject. Yes it's valuable as an alternate solution for some situation.

This forum is full of people jumping in the middle and rehashing every detail as if it's never seen the light of day. That is what your post felt like but clearly is not with your additional explanation.
