Malcom,

I had this problem last summer.  It turned out to be the little black
rubber vaccum hose that connects the plastic air line to the
differential lock mechanism on the transmission.
Here is my suggestion to try first, get underneath and double check
the rubber hoses.  The bottom one is the first one to get dammaged and
crack.

hope this solves the problem
