I've now discovered the problem with my Intermediate Speed Control. The piston in the actuator is completely seized up. I removed the actuator and the cover on one end of the actuator, along with the pin that moves the gears, but I haven't been able to get the M48X1.5 hex plug on the other end to budge. I was using a tool on the plug that I made, but I was bending it. I believe the hex wrench size is 22 mm and I ordered one which is due to arrive tomorrow so when it arrives I'll be able to put a lot more torque on it. I may even try an impact wrench. I had a very difficult time removing the top plate with the actuator. It was really stuck. I ended up using a long crowbar and had to put all of my weight on the end to get it to pop loose. I only used the crowbar after I found out the Expedition Imports had a new one in stock, albeit very expensive.
