tomaco1 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have a 200tdi with a worn shifter (picture 1) my question is where to get a replacement and how hard is it to change? I was also wondering if the setup in (picture 2) would swap onto the newer tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi mate I had this exact problem on my 200tdi Defender. I bought brand new pattern parts for approx £70 That included the bottom ball bit, the alloy casing which is damaged as you have shown, the paper gasket and a new spring (watch these when you refit as mine took a big lump out of my finger when it slipped! ) I would give you the part numbers but I dont have the parts book to hand (will look tonight if i get a minute) I bought mine from my local independant land rover specialist but I expect LRseries/paddocks etc will be able to supply them for you It was well worth sorting out on mine - made it feel like a new gear box!!!

L19MUD Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Forgot to say - it's a doddle to do Undo the 4 bolts that hold the casing to the top of the gearbox and it all comes apart easily hardest bit is getting that stupid rubber cover back over the spring once it is all back together!

reb78 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wont that pin rotate a little so the spring sits on a 'new' part of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomaco1 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 item 1, page 323 FRC7155, see photo of part below easy to change thanks, thats exactly what i need. Any idea what would make wear so bad? I'm hoping its just not a case of high mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 most likely driving with a hand on the gearstick all the time, only way it can wear is with pressure applied with a forward bias, or it's just worn with age/rough gear changes.

tomaco1 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I guess I should change the spring also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 if the spring is not broken leave it, but make sure you set it up correctly, otherwise you'll find it a pain to select the gears. main gear lever should move in a straight line between 3rd & 4th gears without any sideways movement. here's how to set the spring.
