Transfer clutch problems.
Quote:
The are three units in the train of events. The C solenoid passes pilot pressure to the Transfer valve, which controls the pressure to the Transfer clutch. The C solenoid can fail both electricaly and mechanicaly. This usually results in binding as the clutch is fully engaged The Transfer valve appears to suffer from sticking, may be from lack of use?. This will produce the delayed engagement, which if allowed to continue will cause wear on the Transfer clutch plates. As all the drive to the back wheels, is carried by the clutch, in the US models, any problem with it becomes very noticable. If the front wheels will spin on grass, the clutch is not working. If the front wheels start to spin, then there is a clunk and they stop spinning, the Transfer valve is sticking. As many have found the transfer assemble can be overhauled without removing the transmission. There have been a number of members that have done the job themselves. Harvey. (Anyone who can start and ride a Commando on sandy roads, has all the skill nessesary.)

Harvey - thanks for the insight. since neither my wife nor neighbors would appreciate a lawn job (hope "lawn job" translates OK from American to Australian), I'll have to try it out on the grass at the side of the road. Do you think this is something one can feel/hear, or do I need to bring along a witness?

Yes it might be best if someone stands beside the car and watches the wheels to see if they both, front and rear, react together. It can still spin one front wheel, even if all is well, because of the open diff in the front. If both spin than there is a problem. Harvey.
