Hi peepes,
Disco1 187,000 miles and the box just feels vague, slippling into reverse instead of first [-X [-X people behind look quite :shock: then can't always find second, if one does it's usually second into fifth, which slows things ups a bit, or sometimes it's first... second.... third...... SECOND which produce a nice white smokescreen...!! :angry: :angry:
Now it appears that I've been spoilt with both RRC;s being auto :clap: but even those have similar mileage on.
Is there anything that can be done or is it gearbox change time :doh: :-> Any suggestions (nice ones please :lol:) greatly welcomed.

I believe there is a nylon washer or something along those lines that's at the base of the gear stick. As this wears, gear selection becomes sloppier and vague. Not a difficult job I am lead to believe.

if its not the nylon washer it might be the metal selector plate or d. tent spring i had your symptons for a wile then couldnt get reverse gear atall found out it was the d. tent spring when this gave way it ment i was putting more preasure on the selector plate till one of the lugs broke off have both checked to be on the safe side there not a big job can be done frome inside the car

Thanks guys, totally forgot I'd posted this till I found it today :oops: :roll: :smiley: :doh:
Not touched it since I got it as my welder mate is away till weekend. As luck would have it I have removed gearstick knobs and rubber mat to give it a good clean so will have a poke about in the morning :shock: :shock: and a look at the disco [-X [-X
Keep you posted
