DAN82SED Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 alright guys, bit of a weird one, i drive a 110 300tdi and the high/ low gear stick is round the wrong way! both gears work fine but just confussed as to why they work oppersite to what the lever says (high is low and low is high), any ideas??

simonb Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 High should be towards seat box, low towards bulkhead. Is the knob on 180 degrees out? I can't see how it could work the wrong way round as the linkage will only fit together one way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN82SED Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 cheers simonb, its definatly back to front, high is towards bulkhead and low is towards seatbox. the guy who sold the landy to me told me it was round the wrong way but he didnt know why!

Retroanaconda Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Back is high and forward is low on both mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Not got a disco 5 speed fitted has it? If so would that mean the lever would pivot the opposite way to how it does on a defender main box? Where is your lever - to the bulkhead or seatbox side of the main gear lever?

DAN82SED Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 high/low is closest to seatbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 put a photo up, so we can see what the exact problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN82SED Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 sorry for poor pic, will get a better one tomorrow if need be. couldnt find a torch and its pitch black. the high/low leaver is in the forwards possition but is in high gear instead of low?! would have thought that if it was a disco gearbox then the gearstick would be behind the high/low stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Neale Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'd put money on a previous owner or garage connecting the linkage wrongly - the hi/lo is effectively a banjo type clamp that fits around a castellated stub - contrary to popular belief it is possible to fit the link to the stub upside down which effectively reverses the throw of the lever. (I know as I've seen it done!) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I agree with Matt, you can actually connect it up so it works the t other way round. see my wee illustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN82SED Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 cheers guys, glad u cleared that up. will be getting a new gearbox fitted in a couple of weeks so will get the linkage put right then. thanks for everyones imput Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
