URGENT * HELP New Gearbox has no drive Td4 Manual 2006

Hi all,

So I’ll explain from the beginning.
I have my clutch/flywheel/master all replaced along with a fully recon IRD in February. (I replaced VCU with recon the year before).
Since then I’ve been told my gearbox bearings are going as it grumbles along with the wheel bearings too. A lot of noise around bends.
My new IRD also came up with a fault and started leaking. I told the company who sent out a new unit.
I purchased a refurbed gearbox and booked the car to have everything done at once. IRD, gearbox, front wheel bearings and brake shields.

I got a call from the garage yesterday stating that they have completed all the work but the car is not going into drive…
This obviously has me panicking but my initial thought was the clutch release bearing. I asked this and they said they think it’s the gearbox itself where the driveshaft goes in…
regardless they said they would look into it and see if there’s anything they’ve missed and then get back to me. I’m going to have to wait until Monday as it’s a Sunday.
Just so I have some sort of knowledge myself (and I know this may be a big ask because it’s not easy to diagnose without the car) but can anyone give me an insight as to all the possible reasons that have caused this issue?

Thank you

Anyone?

Is the splined link in the gearbox? Are the gears in gearbox actually tuning?

They said it wasn’t.. splined link?

The splined link is where the IRD mates to the gearbox. The splines can strip.. so although the gearbox gears are working correctly, no power is transmitted to the IRD or from there on to the wheels.

Where did you get the Vcu, Ird and gearbox from? Have you tested the replacement Vcu? Are all your tyres the same make and model? (not just same size)

The refurbishment on the gearbox may just be a degrease and clean!

The vcu I’ve had for over a year and it was originally recon’d from bell engineering. All tyres are same no issues there.

Gearbox was from a company called jc transmissions. They do transmission recons and have been around for 20 years.
The ird was from another company that recons Land Rover transmissions.
It is sold as being rebuilt. And they stated they replace all moving parts.
