I have a 2.25l Lightweight series IIa. It has what I believe to be an early model gearbox with non-synchro first gear.
It has been off the road for about 12 years and has very slowly been rebuilt. Finally put a new military engine in and rebuilt the brakes for the third time etc etc.
On the road it has first and second gears, is slow to pick-up in second which i put down to timing.
But it doesn’t have third or fourth. The gear stick moves the selectors but there is no drive at all. I have the floor out and the selectors do move and the inspection cover at the back shows the main shaft moving.
What could it be? Is it a disassemble again? Could it be a selector problem? Or an exchange gearbox?
:eek:
 
had a similar thing ages ago on a 2a,could select all gears and have drive for around 5 mins,then after things had warmed up could select any gear and have no drive.
turnt out it was a snapped shaft in the gearbox that would hold whilst cold but as soon as it warmed up would decide to stop meshin with the other half,just cant remember if it was the main or lay shaft thou:doh:
