Blazing Blazer Gearbox Question

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Can anybody help me please, I have just purchased my first blazer finally!!!

My question is: The front wheels only turn in First Gear, they do not turn in 2nd or 3rd gear, the seller assured me this was normal and correct, is this the case please. Do Blazers only operate in 4wd in first gear?

Thanks for reading and any help would be much appreciated.

As long as I know it, this is correct.

There´s a mod, that you can use the 4WD in all gears, but I´m not into it.

You have to change gears and some other parts...

G1 = 4wd

G2 = speed 2wd

G3 = high speed 2wd

So yes it's normal!

and the front wheel hubs you can pull and turn it so it can free wheeling like the real 1:1 and to lock again pull and turn the other way and release.

+1 to both, check out the front hubs to make sure they work.

Ben Throw some pics up! Lets see what you got!

:) OSR

Yes i will do that as soon as i can, not sure how yet, I have already stripped out the radio gear which works intermittently but i think its the switch, will try to post some pics over the weekend, to be honest i'm delighted with the car but it does need a few bits here and there including drivers head and left arm, battery compartment lid which is damaged, roof spoiler and roof sides, original decals and a pair of brand new tyres and finally ALOT OF ELBOW GREASE. my workshop should be finished in a couple of weeks so i should be starting the restoration soon.

Thanks for the interest

These are a few pics if i can upload them sucessfully, not sure what the quality will be like i reduced the quality alot

body pretty good needs steering wheel and column, complete roof, drivers left arm, head with helmet, left back light (are these handed? or interchangeable)

chassis needs new plastic cover, pair new tyres (i have 1 pair), body clip mount.

bad connection somewhere on the radio gear but can sort that

If anybody can help me find the parts i need that would be great, I also picked up a thread that there may be a manual available to show me how to rebuild the gearbox, if anybody can help with that, it would be great

Thanks alot guys and gals
