hi, i have a 3.9 v8 discovery i was driving it today and the gears seemed to be getting stiff when changing and then 100 yards down the road i lost drive, i have no clutch pedal and i can just pust the gear stick into any gear and nothing will happen, it still starts but it seems to vibrate when running, has my gearbox blown up? any help would be great thanks, o ye its done 150000 miles

you will need a new clutch kit ,release arm and pivot ,when did you last check gearbox oil

if youve lost pedal its either run out of fluid ,release arm pivot has worn through arm ,clutch bust,gearboxes can fail and loose drive through poor lubrication where input shaft and lay shaft gears loose there teeth but doesnt normally effect clutch pedal,id check gear box oil and clutch fluid ,remove slave cylinder and check release arm

no fluid would mean you wouldnt be able to release clutch to get gears but would have drive abd could be if started in gear ,if clutch center torn out or clutch cover broken it wouldnt transmit drive from engine to gearbox
