Hi there guys I've done a search but can't find anything. This morning I couldn't get gears in my automatic td5. Got rac out and the linkage at the gear stick had snapped.i think it's the plastic washer type part that's snapped. Any ideas what I need to buy to fix it. Currently using pliers to get it in and out of gear. Thanks in advance guys

has the ball end on cable broken away from socket or is cable it self snapped
You sir are a gentleman, bet it's a main dealer part only but gives me something to work to. Thanks again

number 10 is cable to box connection
Yeah that's snapped. My local Indy reckons he's never known one go there before in all years he's been working on them.

broken at the gear box end as well ?that would be unsual
No it's just broken on the O part that the ball fits into of the throttle lever that goes up and down to engage gears. See the photo in the opening post. Gearbox works fine. Just need arms like a prime Geoff capes to engage gears lol.

i can see cable is out of its lever ,for that to go normally a stiff cable or broken support is the cause but its possible you just need a new retainer from the dealers

Hi Mike I'm not clear what it the problem here: on the one hand you appear to say that you can grip the ball with pliers and select gears but on the other hand state that the cable is snapped?
The two statements seem to conflict as, if you can select gears, the cable can't be snapped, surely?
Dave
sorry dave the cable is fine. It's the lever as you can in photo above. Sorry for confusion pal.

you may well fair better at a breakers as individual parts dont seem to be shown ie it may come with lever mechaism or cable
Thanks for your advice once again vanmancan. I'm not mechanically minded as you can tell but I've been out to it and that nylon washer clicked over the ball then clicked into the half moon and it's working. The nylon washer is in a bad way though any ideas of the part number for that ? Thanks once again . Rac man didn't even know this he said it was broken.
As said by others it's prob a part that comes with the hole gear shifter :-/ . If it pops out again might be worth showing it to a main dealer . Could well be a single part from another landy. Just try to be a little more gentle on the shifter . Any luck might not pop out again .
Thanks chap. It's holding together for now. I'm gona nip up see my local Indy see if he can get me a nylon washer or if he as got one knocking about.
