gwsrich Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Disco 1 v8 just done a 500 mile round trip and noticed that towards the end of the journey the box would bang into gear (normally 4th). Now this morning been out and the box changes 1st to 2nd no problems then wont change to 3rd till the engine is screeming and then wont change to 4th at all. checked the oil in the box and that seems fine doesnt smell burnt or anything. Could it just need a filter and oil change or is it time for a recon one?. anyone any other ideas please cheers gwsrich Quote
gwsrich Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Went out this morning and had another look found the kickdown cable has seized up, when i accelerate the cable pulls out but wont return. Its been resting on the manifold and has burnt the inner and outer casings away, causing the gearbox to want to kickdown constantly. I disconnected the cable and she will now change gears just cant give it a big boot when overtaking. Now just got to figure out how to change the cable, any ideas. cheers rich Quote
