lyron Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 our 300tdi disco has all of a sudden developed a very sloppy gear lever, will engauge gears ok, (when i can find em)but becoming a bit of a pain to say the least,i am assuming it could be the gate plate or springs, if so how dificult are they to do. any advice would be greatly recieved many thanks in advance. ron.

western Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 you can reuse the springs if your happy with them, I don't think they are to costly, if you want genuine LR parts see items 5,6 & 7 in this diagram http://www.numcat.ru...ver/p/32/45711/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco1tdi Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just change the plate, the springs are highly unlikely to have gone. It's the tab on top of the plate, that the springs act against, that fatigues and fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
