Disco 1 Stuck manual gearbox

spurs · Dec 24, 2015

Hi all,

Quick question, I was driving around yesterday doing the last of the Xmas jobs and noticed my gearbox wasn't coming out of gear as smoothly as normal, it was like it comes out of gear but can't get neutral. Then this morning i was driving and couldn't get out of first to second, then when I did all was ok. Any ideas?
Got plenty of fluid in the cylinder.

Mileage on clutch?
Best of my knowledge LT77 is known for playing up when it gets hot, and may want draining or just topping up.

Not sure on clutch mileage but the disco has 119k on it.

Try a fluid change. Cheap and easy

Also stick a tidy sized magnet on the drain plug to pull out any nasty bits before you change the oil

is it stiff or feeling jammed

Yoyodyne · Dec 26, 2015

LT77 on my RRC jammed in 3rd gear one time 10 miles from home. Drove home using 3rd low and 3rd high. Glad I had learned to double de-clutch on the lightweight! Gearbox was full of crud - flushed it and refilled and it was fine.

James,

It actually got jammed a couple of times, but to be fir it's been fine since. Got oil on order going for mtf94

Could be the bias plate then ?
or a combo of things and you are noticing them more ..

is what i was thinking if actually jamming boxes do often get very stiff but thats a different issue

Might have a crack in it and pulling it across out of line ?
