I am having the same problem and my axle shafts are turning but the hubs are not engaging. So you have a source for locking hubs for this vehicle?

1999 Mazda B4000 V-6 4.0 has vacuum hubs now that do not work and would like to switch to manual hubs, the current hubs have a type of plastic clip that holds them on.

you want to swtich from auto hubs to manual?

if thats the case you shoudl be able to pick up a conversion kit to stick in its place. not too hard to do.

would you like a diagram of manual or auto hubs?

I have the same problem, except my drive shaft does not turn. What might the problem be in that case?

may be an issue with the actuator then. youll just have to check it for damage if you turn the front shaft by hand, where it leaves the transfercase does it keep spinning or does it go and stop>?
