Get 5l and do a change after 1000 miles,filter through muslin half a litre or so and add the next 2l makeing a longer lasting clean box.

I'm sure the LT77 needs ATF - but i'm a bit out of date!

Your gearbox is an LT77. It takes ATF.

It's just a half inch square socket - same as you put in the sockets!

You could probably buy yourself a shiny new socket set with what you would be charged for labour, to do a REALLY easy job, even I can do it,

Quite a quantum leap from what oil to put in a gearbox to I need a new gearbox
What seems to be the problem sir?

its second gear,it goes in and doesnt jump out but makes a grinding sound,also theres a constant whinning noise when you drive could do with someone having a drive in it as this might be normal,i havent checked transfer box yet,but if it is the gearbox i know a man that can

syncro mesh wprn and worn final drive in transfer possible.
gear box can be rebuilt easy enough.just heavy and time consuming.
try get a second hand box and wack it in so you can rebuild your original at leisure.
they have a weak syncro anyway so useing ATF helps.

Just learn how to put it in gear properly, nice and gently no ramming it in and you will be fine for quite a while longer, I reckon.

yes,2nd gear needs to be slid in gently with low revs.
land rover lobbed in the gearbox syncro and used atf to do the best of a bad job.
personally i would fit an old 4-speed rangie box.
