Rotor Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi Ive just refitted my LT77 gearbox back in my 1985 Defender 110 ex mod after having it rebuilt ,it was done here in Spain by a reputable garage, the problem is I cant get 5th gear now, I adjusted the screw next to the gear stick on the left and this gave it more travel accross the right but it now seems like Ive got two locations for third! Before I go ripping into the garage can anyone tell me if Im doing something wrong?? Rgds Rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Er IMHO if you have paid good money for the rebuild and you can't get 1 2 3 4 5 and R then its not for you to muck about with it - its for them to sort for you Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 either the bias spring in the link above needs adjusting or the 5th gear stop needs adjusting see attached page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It rather depends on what Rotor bought. I imagine that the gearbox came without the stick, bias spring etc., therefor he is responsible for them and matters relating to their correct setting. If the box needs adjusting though then the remanufacturer is responsible. I would suggest selecting neutral on the stick and then removing it. Then, without the stick in place, attempt to select 5th gear (assuming that you can tell 5th from 3rd without driving!) on the mechanism below the gear stick. If you can get it then there is some problem (limit screw?) with the stick mechanism, if not it is the gearbox at fault, consult the remanufacturer.

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 When you have finished adjusting the bias springs and you cant get reverse, then you have screwed the reversing light switch too far in Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 IIRC on the shifter bar in the tail housing is the 5th gear selector sliding dog, it can be fitted the wrong way round then you wont be able to select 5th gear. long shot but i think i'm right in saying that. if so its not down to you to fix it.
