Damaged the DCCD
 

Okay well its happened I managed to destroyed the DCCD unit in my 6 speed box. It locking up so bad and with the large tyres I think it might damage the transmission. Must be to many sand dunes.

So I need to pick peoples brains on how to fixk the problem. Has anyone taken the back off the gearbox while it is in the car. I am not sure if I can remove the roll pin on one of the gear change lever.
Suggestion help appricated.

The latest,
The car is back on the road and yes the DCCD had locked up 100% 4wd. It had generated so much heat that it burnt the oil in the gearbox. It all so burnt the oil on the shaft inside the box so when I took it apart it was sized to the shaft. Also the wires to the DCCD unit were broke so the controller didn't work.
Got a secondhand unit from the USA and all is now good.
Car is coming up to its 600,000k birthday so the million dollar question is when do I bury it, at 700,000 or 800,000. have no idea of the answer.
