is reverse lever set on shaft properly allowing full selection ,is it a new reverse ,originally reverse idler needle bearing had a slight twist this helped hold into gear new ones are often straight
Hi James I have been reading what you have been saying about the ser 3 gear box , I need some more on setting up the fork on the reverse gear .
I rebuilt mine with the help of a land rover mac , but I only got some of his time ( paid for) . I have replaced everything all bearings sincro , and new reverse ( it had been jumping out a lot before i bought ) gear and needle bearing , New springs detent .I have the suf D box with the coffin sincro ( new now ).
The problem i have is, on over run , 1 and 2 jumps out , and revers always jumps out . I was wondering can you go into more detail of setting up the forks , as i replace everything , what are the measurements , how far back should my shifting fork be in the selector shaft for reverse , based on where ? ( Castle nut tight )
The mac looked at my forks and said they were fine , did not need replacing ? He went threw all parts and told me what to replace . He had been working on landys for 30 years and still dose ,so I felt good about what he said .But the dam thing still jumps out , I live far out of town so cant run back to him easily .
I dont no what way to go as I thought by replacing everything , that needed it , this would fix it jumping out gear . When I bought the landy it jumped out , but then my layshaft bearing went , so thats when the rebuild started . Thanks
