Hi
Just got a second hand Defender LT77 and LT230. I've split them and am after your opinions on a few things. Firstly, how bad would the wear on the main shaft be considered? In need of a new shaft, standard for a defender? Etc
Secondly and probably a slightly bigger problem the box seems to be stuck. All gears engage ok, but the input shaft in the bellhousing cannot be turned by hand and I am presuming it should. I move a fraction to the left and right and then clunk! Its stops. I know its a bit of a long shot, but also that there are lots on here with masses of experience. Hoping you may be able to offer suggestion of possible issue. I have no history of the box, other than its been sat under a tarp for quite a while. Its a 50A suffix E box.
Cheers in advance
