Thanks for the answer.
If it's not too much to ask
the number of parts to be replaced?

I have a Manual P38, which is difficult to get into 3rd gear.

Finding the problem was easy. One of the springs which hold the gearstick centralised (so that it is positioned to go into 3rd/4th when you let it go) is faulty.

Now the difficult bit. It has a type "D" selector system, and you can only buy the whole unit from Landrover (£650 ish).

I only want the spring, which is a length of threaded rod, about 25 mm diameter, and about 30 mm long, which has a screwdriver slot in one end, and a domed piston on the other, with the spring inside the unit.

Can anyone help, or does anyone have a spare I could buy?

Thanks

Trevor

It is Francisco who has the issue in Setubal. That's Portugal, I think. South of Lisbon. Nice drive, I guess.

We do have some members down there. Spiggy Topes is closest, I think.

Thought all the manuals were the same selector boxes and gearboxes on the P38? Can never remember if it is C or D.
