Hi all,
Got a 90 that doesn't like going in reverse until she's been on a run.
Tried gear box oil change with no difference . Any got any ideas.
 
I had this trouble with the same drivetrain in a Disco 1. First it wouldn't go into reverse. Then it wouldn't go into fifth, then started making a horrible noise on the way home with bad vibrations. When i got it home it wouldn't come out of gear. Then i persuaded it into neutral(combination of pleading, praying, waggling the stick then some tears) Then i drove it into the back garden. Now stick's stuck in neutralish position but in a gear. Not sure if it's first or reverse as it's wedged on a small hump in the garden. Need to winch it up over the hump to swap the tyres over.
Lost interest a bit after reading a layshaft or some other shaft is prone to shearing in the box then while searching for a second hand gearbox i bought a Disco 2...
