Slickshift 1st and 2nd gear difficult


Recommended Posts

Having successfully converting the top remote housing of my Disco LT77 to a Defender one, and installing a slickshift, I’m now struggling to find 1st and 2nd gear. 
 

Reverse, 3rd, 4th, 5th are all a dream. I’m wondering if I have my bias springs adjusted incorrectly. Does anyone know what this problem could be? Am I missing something obvious? I doubt it is gearbox selector issues as it was selecting fine beforehand. 

Cheers

was it working before you installed the slick-shift ? , or did you put the remote shifter and slickshift in at the same time ?

if the later , i would get rid off the slickshifter and make sure that all works as it should be in stock form .

What's difficult about it ? Will it not go into gear or will the lever not go over far enough ? 

I suspect you need to adjust your bias to allow the lever to go further over to the left.

Hi Mo, it goes left just fine. Don’t forget reverse is next to 1st on LT77, and I can select that. Just can’t seem to find 1st/2nd. Very bizarre

Yeah I did them both at the same time. I stripped everything down, degreased it till it was spotless and then re grease everything. I even rebuild the reverse plunger- the lot. I can’t see what the problem can be 🤔
