Hi to all I am new to this forum so please be gentle with me!!
Have a 1995 Disco 300Tdi manual with the following gearbox problems
1. No 4th gear there seems to be something stopping this gear engaging.
2. Graunche when changing from 2nd to 3rd can be helped by dipping the clutch for 2 seconds then selecting 3rd.
A new clutch has been fitted one month ago due to loss of all gears.
The mileage is only 69000 and it had a mainshaft replacement when it was 2 years old after the splines chewed up.
I have fitted a new clutch slave and master cylinder after advice from a local independant Landrover specialist which seems to make selecting gears easier.
I removed the gearbox drain plug and this was full of iron filings possibly not removed when gearbox shaft failed? The fluid was black instead of red ATF fluid when I drained it!!!
I refilled the box with new ATF and an American product which claims to help tired old boxes work a bit better this only helped to remove a rumbling niose when the cluch pedal was pressed.
Whilst raised at the front on ramps I noticed that all gears inc 4th could now be selected with ease? but when on level ground 4th cannot be selected?
I am thinking of getting a recon gearbox but would welcome any advice from you Landrover experts.
HELP!!!
