    gear linkage

    Hi There any news on this ? My freelander has a sloppy gear change, I am having the gearbox replaced next week, but I thnk the sloppy gear change is a separate issue. For those interested the reason the gear box is being replaced is don to the fact mine doesn't stay in 2nd. Thanks in advance.
