Gear shift issue?

cma said:

Evening Gents,

My Defender 90 has a crunching/clunking felt in the gear stick when shifting into gear - more noticeably shifting into 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

She’s a 2010 with 70k on the clock. Recent work completed includes new clutch, transfer box, drive shaft, flanges, bushes.

Does this sound familiar / an issue?

Cheers in advance,
Chris

Thanks AL203, yes ex utility so hard life.
Had bodywork and interior done so she’s looking great. Last niggle is this gearstick crunch.
Thanks for advice will check those actions.

There's another forum called Difflock. They sell their own gear box oil. Can't remember if it's Evo1 or Evo 2 for the main box. It's expensive, but they claim it lasts twice as long as other oils. I've used it before and it's transformational. Converts the gearbox in to a modern, comfortable unit. Many will come on and slate me for this, but this is based on personal experiences so they can eff orft
It won't fix a knackered gearbox, but might help a worn one for a while.

It’s not their own oil, they are neither oil refiners or blenders it’s just rebranded Amsoil synthetic oil and then double the price.
