The 2 screws/bolts are in the bottom of the armrest compartment, I have a pic but will have to find another way to upload as it's on the iPad.
Procedure should be;
1. Remove gear knobs
2. Remove 2x front press rivets.
3. Remove 2x rear screws/bolts.
4. As you lift it up disconnect the rear screen switch and cig lighter. You can do this by removing the small panel that they are fixed to or as you lift the console.
5. There is probably a rubber cover over your transfer lever base, with a small hose attached. This can be lifted to access the 4x bolts holding the transfer lever in.
6. As you loosen the bolts try to move the lever back into 2wd, if this doesn't work then it will have to be lifted out ( watch out for the spring) and repositioned. The issue is likely to be with the domed plate on the transfer lever, I have seen some repaired but I found it easier to buy another from a breakers (I paid £40.00).

I know this is a old thread, but seriously... someone has to have an answer for this!! It’s the “Ask an expert” part of the forum, where are all you experts about?

@Benson .. any advice ?

Hi guys, picking up on this post form years ago, I've just had the same symptoms, shiftered into low to drive up onto a ramp and then when I went back into 2H, the lever jammed in 4H .
I've followed the above and got the lever out , but unable once reassembled to get the lever to work in Low ratio or 2H based on the display indicator on screen (flashing 4H) but 4x4 not engaged somI can drive it.

Any ideas what this problem may be and how to fix it please?

I'm a new member, really appreciate some advice (it's not diff wind up) before I take it to the dealers ££ 😏

Regards in advance

So only the display doesn't work @Easty ? You can actually move the gear lever to all positions ? If so I would be looking at disturbed electrical connections or vacuum pipes

Hi, unfortunately not. Lever moves but quite stiff, it won't fully go into 2H on the disc play, but is actually in 2H, so I will check the connections and vacuum pipes, but more of an issue is the 4L which won't engage due the the lever not bing possible to depress to push forward and engage low ratio.

When I had taken the transferbox stick out, there was a spring and a white plastic assembly that accommodates the ball of the lever and the spring, this seemed intact with the 2 locating lugs .

What it seems to me was the ball was sitting too low as if it had slipped on the lever shaft as I had to raise it to engage the the side pin in the t/box to engage low ratio.

When I put it back together the leaver is very stiff to move and won't engage 4L.

Any ideas?

My suspicion would be that the plastic collar is broken for 4L , it is mentioned in the thread ( sorry don't have a b40 so don't know the ins and outs ) . I'll tag @Benson but he hasn't been on for a while so not holding out much hope. Looks like Benson and Jimmy both got secondhand levers to cure not going into 4L

This is the Mitzy Service Letter regarding the transfer lever, hopefully it will be of some help.
As I found, just replacing the lever may not prevent it happening again, it does need the full modification as described.

Thanks Guys, really helpful and quite possible that's what I did rolling off the ramps, shifter from low to height , and pastry depressed clutch 😬.
I'll give that a go.
Many thanks

Hi Guys, to conclude it was the plastic collar that had popped out of place.
Reset it and repositioned and now working after a bit of fettling.
Really appreciate your advice.
Many thanks
