what part did you put in ? do you mean the master or slave, you most probly need to bleed it now

pitmanzeus · Jan 29, 2014

It was the slave , I'm sure he has bled it but I'm not 100% sure

Does the gear stick go into any other gears, ie. When the engines off? Just thinking one of the gear selector rods could have been forgotten about when refitting the box.

id look at the 2 gear selector rods on top rear of box, rod cups just press on to spigots

Thanks for the help , see how it goes this weekend

pitmanzeus · Jan 29, 2014

Just been informed that's all done problem is inside the box , hmmmm

jamesmartin · Jan 29, 2014

theyd would have had to remove box to fit slave (concentric) if clutch isnt clearing properly it would effect 1st and reverse too, that would be mechanics responsibility as would and damage to box during removal and refit,whats exact symptoms

pitmanzeus · Jan 30, 2014

Well hubbie is a mechanic but never worked on landrovers before goes into 1st and reverse no problem just the rest of the gears

jamesmartin · Jan 30, 2014

its not clutch related but linkage or maybe box ,but box id think if it was has had a selector mechanism come adrift inside or similar when removing /refitting box ,its possible but highly unlikely box has unrelated issue thats just shown up

Need a new box then.

jamesmartin · Jan 30, 2014

it wouldnt necessarily be a hard fix but would require box pulling apart ,and id want to know why good box before it was removed isnt now

would deffo agree with that, as someone who worked in the trade for many years I definitely don't believe in coincidences- "fault has just shown up" is definitely garage speak for we've broke something but want you to pay for it!!

pitmanzeus · Feb 1, 2014

Well box is coming out tomorrow so here's hoping its nothing too drastic !!

Totally agree with this.... No such thing as coincidence....

They have broke somfink.

Hubbies out taking gearbox out as I speak hopefully nothing was broken first time round , getting desperate for my motor back!!

pitmanzeus · Feb 14, 2014

Well the box is out but it's selecting gears no problem hmmm

john t · Feb 15, 2014

think you might have jumped into removing the box to quickly,
master cylinders fail over a period of time and sometimes bleeding can get the cluthc working ok again for a short time ,

what are you going to do now ?

you need to remove the gearbox to be able to replace the slave, think you must have meant the master ,

pitmanzeus · Feb 23, 2014

It's definitely the slave cylinder not the master , and he had bled it a couple of times before work started on it first time round as you said solved problem for a little while. , box is now sitting in his workshop waiting to be striped when he's got time
