Is that a 1989-90 V6 Montero transmission? Will it work with the stock transfer case?


Yes and yes.

To be sure the OD won't work if the OD solenoid is not energized. The fastest way to check is verify power at the solenoid. I would also test the solenoid for continutity, the manual shows it has having 13 ohms resistance to ground.

The OD control system is the most common failure. A bad solenoid is easily changed. It's held on with two bolts and has two O rings under it. Trying another one is a low cost test.

Two other posibilities.

1: The Valve body.

2: The OD clutch has a bad seal or a bad clutches.

The valve body is easy to service in the vehicle. Most internal failures will be from bad seal that then kills the clutch pack. On the units I have rebuilt the OD always seemed to be in the best condition.
