Is there a Jimny 3 with 4WD transmission?
First of all, there are some rare “el cheapo” Jimnys 3 (mostly from early year 1998-2001) which have no 4WD transmission mechanics – they are RWD 2WD (real wheel drive two wheel drive) only. This article is not for them. All Jimnys 3 with 4WD transmission have the same overall transmission design:
What kind of transmission system does bigjimny use?
User selectable part-time 4WD transmission which defaults to RWD 2WD (real wheel drive two wheel drive) mode. Free wheeling hub heads on the front wheel hubs, pneumatically (vacuum) operated. The only operational differences among different Jimny 3 editions / revisions are in the design of the control of the transmission system.
When did the transmission change from 2WD to 4WD?
This is opposed to the earlier system, where the driver operated a mechanical 2WD/4WD selection lever in the transfer box at will, and the computer just operates the vacuum system for the (dis)engagement of the front wheel hub heads upon sensing the change in the transfer box. The change of the transmission system occurred around 2005.
Which is the best transmission system for 4WD?
This attribute makes vital difference if 4WD engagement is about to be performed after the vehicle had already got stuck in 2WD. However, pneumatically operated free wheeling wheel hub systems are the most delicate, with the highest risk of failure.
