landrovermanuk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sorry if this has been done before but i couldn't find anything.... I've got a 3.9efi and auto box from a 94 disco in my 90. The gear lever doesn't line up with the markings on the surround. If the box is in Drive the selector says Neutral...etc It will not go into Park far enough to engage park in the gearbox and will not allow the 90 to start... I am thinking that the cable from the selector to the gearbox has stretched but can't find anything changing/adjusting this cable... This problem occurred over a short time... Any ideas???

Team Idris Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If it's the HP22 it's adjusted at the gearbox lever end. Mine starts in neutral? I've blocked park, in-case it 'rears up' going steep. Maybe it isn't the same box as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrovermanuk Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's an HP22 as far as I know. If I push the lever as far forward as possible on a slope I can hear a noiseas the car moves. To me it sounds like a cog trying to engage with an other cog nut only just touching.... I'll go and see if I can see how it adjusts. It's got a 50th Ann center console, which I think I am going to have to remove before I can do/see anything... Thanks, at least I know where to start looking....

Bowie69 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Adjustment is on the other end I believe, i.e. underneath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrovermanuk Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'll crawl under it tomorrow and have a look.... it would save pulling out the center console... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landrovermanuk Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 The problem is back.... I now know what the problem is though. The outer cable(sheath) has broken just behind the fitting that attaches to the back of the gear selector housing. Every time I move the selector the sheath moves. This means that the selector does not match the lettering on the surround and it changes position every time I move the selector. Currently reverse is where park should be and drive is where neutral is.... So now I am hoping someone can tell me where to find the instructions to replace the cable... or tell me how it connects/ disconnects from the selector/hoousing... Thanks John..

Paul Woodward Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The outer cable is held into the housing with a spring clip. The inner is held to the lever in the same way. You'll need to take the gear knob off and remove the gear indicator slider. When you look into the housing it will all become clear! HTH.

landrovermanuk Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Brilliant. I shall order a new cable and get on with it. Thanks. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
