Paddy_SP Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I originally posted this over on the Discovery forum but as I didn't get very far over there, I wondered if any other LT230 users would be able to help: The gearstick on my 300 Tdi D1 has just started turning on its own axis - swivelling, in other words, whenever I change gear. The gears themselves change nicely, but the stick seems to have a mind of its own, and half the time it bashes up against the sides of the tunnel due to the misalignment. I know how to get into the top of the mechanism, but can't visualise what's causing it. Has anyone here any ideas so that I can prep everything beforehand to minimise the amount of vehicle downtime? I should add that it is not the joint halfway up the stick which is spinning - the whole affair, dog-leg and all, is turning. As ever, any help would be most appreciated!

landroversforever Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Do you mean it’s rotating below the joint with the spline/nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I wonder if one of the pins have come off the ball section it all moves around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 I think that is probably the likeliest answer, however, I wondered if anyone else had experienced (and fixed) the same issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Further to the above, I've just realised that I typed 'LT230', when I should, of course, have typed 'R380'. I wish to plead brain-fade as my excuse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
