Hello all. I have a freelander t d4 that is reluctant to go into reverse. As I look at the gear quadrant the rocking yolk is moving on the shaft and I’ve been told the roll pin will need replacing. ? My question is about the alignment of the yolk to the the shaft to remove the pin. Sorry if I’ve used the wrong terms for the parts I’m not a mechanic. Regards
 
Hi,

Manual car ?

According to the manual the car need to be still, push the clutch pedal all way down, wait a little and then put the reverse. If you can’t get it to reverse, you certainly have issue with clutch hydrolics.

Why I say that, because depending on the gearbox and the gear selector, you can put the reverse with only pushing stlitly the clutch pedal. And some people use to put reverse with a huge cracking sound …

The gear selector is floppy with the freelander.

Sorry no I don’t have a pic. The car was recently in for a new slave cylinder and when you look at the reservoir under the bulk head there is a slight weep of fluid. I thin they changed the item near the clutch lever.
 
New slave cylinder ? If the master look new yes, if the hydraulic flush was not well done you can have an issue, same if they put a budget master cylinder…
 
if the master looks brand new. However, if the hydraulic flush was done poorly, you may have a problem. The same is true if they installed a cheap master cylinder.

Sorry I replied to myself. The part cost 50 pounds and was not a land rover part. Is the master cylinder hard to fit if I get the original part.
 
Hi

Try to bleed the clutch fluid first.
If not better, change the master cylinder put one from Luk brand.

If you are a yogi master is not that difficult, you should also know how to disconnect the master from the slave without the right tooling.

I’ll have a look and see what make it is. I’ve noticed a slight weep of fluid from under the reservoir , there looks like a small split pin And washer where it’s coming from.
 
Well then folks. Looked at the reciept for the last work done and the master cylinder was 100 pounds for the part but doesn’t say what brand it is. I’ve looked round the MS today and there’s no leak of fluid as I Previously thought and the level hasn’t dropped either. I am going to chap the gearbox oil and re bleed the clutch and see how it goes.
Many thanks for all the replies it’s been much appreciated.
