P1000 2 wheel lock

[bumperm]

That, and when I was reading up before my -5 SE was delivered, I think it was here on sxs that there was a discussion with some saying they didn't bother to come to a full stop before shifting from H to L, from 2T to 2 Lock, or from 2 to 4WD (or in the case of the SE & LE, from 2 WD to i4WD). IMO that is just asking from trouble, the good book says to stop first, so that's what I do, as I want to go to Honda Heaven.

Can I have an Amen!!?

Oops, sorry for preachin' . . . and here I ain't even a church-goer.

Dealers won't warranty the adjustment because they claim its a maintenance item as stated in the service manual which is bull crap when many new machines literal brand new machines have this issue. My local dealer told me they wouldn't warranty it, they wanted $125 to adjust it, and the dealer I purchased from who is over a hour away told me they do not warranty cover this but they would adjust it as a courtesy for me for free. I didn't want to make the drive so I adjusted it myself.

This is exactly what happened to me. I adjusted it myself including the front differential lock and it works great now.

Should have done this the day I got it home. Now the indicator will switch between turf & 2wd sitting at idle while in gear. NO MORE CLUNK!!

Thanks for the super clear instructions!!

Adjusted mine as in video, worked great.

Something the book said, that I am wondering if some of you old hats are forgetting, but us new guys sure need to know.
.
"After changing the drive mode, drive several yards, making right and left turns"
.
When up in the air, you are the one doing the turn right, turn left, by only moving one wheel. So, the gear switching is quick, and no pressure on the system at all.
.
I have not had the rear end apart, but it doesn't really matter, gears are gears, are gears.
You make them mesh, and they like to stay that way, until you pull them apart, or they push themselves apart. Looking at the system, the only spring I see is inside the adjuster box. That little spring has to move them gears. Granted, probably pretty small gears. I work on 18 wheelers, so big difference.
.
So, for us new guys, here is a picture to help.

I should have read my manual by now. Thanks for posting this. I tested out this theory and as I turn the wheel it will engage/ disengage immediately.
