Had my truck for 9 years, usual problems one after the other but it does what we need! Head gasket soon due now I'm afraid too as its presurising the coolant.

more urgent is gear selector...again! the plastic cup bush in the yolk has worn out and cant get 1st/2nd. So stripped down and with very little effort a tool bit snapped in the grub screw holding the yolk on.

So two questions, can I fit the new bush/ball/clip from the underside of the yolk in situ which now cant be taken off with a neatly blanked grub screw! any one succeeded??

Next, as back up, I think i could protect the gearbox innards with rags and cut off the yolk...then i need another. I think they are taken off in defender conversions and there must be plenty of totally scrapped R380 gearboxes out there.....so i could use another yolk?

Thoughts appreciated.
 
I think I have secured a yolk...........thought outside the box and called a specialist who convert defenders to the R380 gearbox, they take off the yolk and replace with a modified one.
I will still be interested to hear of anybody who has encountered a stubborn yolk/grub screw like me.
