A lad i work with has a landrover v8, its a petrol long wheel base.

Its trying to select other gears when we try to take it out of first, and after inspection with the top off the box, i can see that the selector fork is worn alowing the selector shaft to twist when going back to neautral which is alowing the selector to catch the 3rd-4th shaft to try to push the box into 4th [ i think!]


Do you have to take the box out to get the selector fork out?


thankyou!

I dont know with out having another look tomorrow, i think 4, but i dont know im guessing.


its a 5 speed box, its got detent springs at the rear when you take the shift mechanism off the top, i cant think of anything else that may make it more destinctive to you if you know what i mean...


thanks for the quick replies btw!
