Whats missing?????

Ever since I have had my 300tdi defender I have had a sloppy gear change. The other day I decided it's about time I sorted it out. I lifted the rubber gearstick gaiter expecting to see a broken spring or Bias plate.

How wrong can you be?

My gearstick Is held in place by a single screw and washer on top of the ball of the gearstick.

Does anybody know what I am missing so I can rectify it ASAP? It looks like some kind of plate with 3 holes should go there. I purchased part no.FRC7686 Which is a defender gear selector housing from fleabay but it isn't the part I need. Does anyone have an exploded diagram or piccy that may give me a clue.
cheers.

I don't know if this is the right diagram...

cheers madcowz.
It looks like the right diagram. I take it The ball selector is only held in by 3 screws with washers then. Mine has only one at the moment. I will try another 2 and see if that works.

Ratty , i think you should take it to a good garage that could fix it for you !!!!

Hi Robin

Don't worry it aint dropped off yet and I am sure I can find a couple of screws by then.

Cheers redhand. I got a few m8 bolts hangin about so i'll bung em in. Am I right in saying the disco gearboxes have got an extra rubber flange on the top?

Aye the whole mechanism is different.

you aint jokeing. Hopefully two new bolts will give me decent gearchanges at last. Cheers red
