It started fine and I drove the Wag today for about 5 kilometers in the city, it worked almost fine.... it seemed to me it was a little "heavy" AND THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM!!! A few minutes ago (22:30 aprox) I decided to put it inside and 2 problems appeared: 1 - the clutch is not getting back as fast as expected, in some cases it stays down for a few seconds. 2 - When I step down the Wag I decided to move it 1 meter forward, so I pushed it, or at least I tried, it seemed to me it not in neutral, so I checked the trans, it was in neutral.... weird, I pushed it again and still blocked... so I pushed it backwards for 20 cm and it was fine, ok, then forward and it's blocked. Any ideas? Something in the transfer case?.... I must confess something to the list..... I've had the chance to engage the 4x4, I don't even know the correct position of the levers, I've just left them in the original position. It was not engaged the front transmission (99% sure..).

I'll try to wait.... Jim, many thanks for your advices, I'll take a look at them when I can, today I can't work on it, I have to make some grills for my new home, if my right shoulder let me (after a few hours of one hand manual saw cutting yesterday) Have a nice Sunday guys.
