Finally got round to doing this today, been busy with work commitments. So got the gearbox and transfer box dropped down, had a look in the clutch. Looks to be ok, which is worrying. There's was some oil in there that shouldn't have been. Not much though. Clutch seems ok, but will be replaced anyway. Gearbox input shaft is fine. Splines are really good. The only thing that I could find in the clutch housing was the slipper pads on the clutch arm were both completely locked tight on one position. Could this cause the problems of loosing drive? Also there was a crack on the clutch arm, hadn't punched through but couldn't have been far off! Should I be thinking about splitting the gearbox and transfer box to check the shafts there? Is there an easy was of checking this without splitting them? Cheers guys! ??

I priced up the parts yesterday (presuming its the clutch) see attached image. I missed off the spigot bush, which I think I also need. Is there anything else I missed off?

So I rang some garages to get some prices on a new clutch. (Still think we will probably do it ourselves) but wanted to know a price comparison really. Anyway, a local Land Rover specialist reckons it could be the main shaft, he is saying that would mean a recon gearbox at £600 plus labour. I don't want to go through all the effort of stripping it out for the clutch if it turns out to be the main shaft, is there anyway to check this? Or is it one of those things you will only know once the gearbox is off? Cheers

Morning, Had a look at the transfer box over the weekend, looks to be fine. Teeth are all in good condition etc. Drained the oil and there were no metal chunks or metal on the sump plug. Can pretty much rule this out. Started the engine and tried to get drive, as you come up the cluthc and you hear the grinding/rattle the gears in the transfer box rotated slightly then stopped. They all moved at once, so I reckon it must be the clutch? What do you guys think? Also, how do you fill the transfer box with oil? Cheers

Thanks for the responses guys, Will check the transfer box asap and see what we get, do you need to take the centre rest out or can you see from underneath on the transfer box? Cheers

Hi guys, New user and first post. My father-in-law has a defender 90 (2.5L 1996) that has an issue, was hoping you guys could help point us in the right direction Was driving the defender and he lost the clutch, he had a pedal but couldn't get any drive. So you put your foot down on the pedal and select a gear then when you start to lift it make a grinding / rattle noise. Get no movement at all. With the engine off you can cycle through and select every gear. We have tried it in high and low box. Diff locked and diff unlocked. Still can't get any movement. We suspected the slave cylinder, so took that off and all is well, re-assembled and reverse bled the system. Still have a clutch pedal but the problem persists. Jacked up all four corners to see if we could get any movement in any gear. Wheels don't move at all. Has anyone come across anything like this before? We don't know if its gearbox related or clutch related, was hoping for some feedback so we know where to check next! Any help would be appreciated, we don't mind doing any of the work we just need to know where to start. Cheers
