Driving around a round about earlier my disco ( mreg 300tdi es) wouldnt go into second gear and hasnt since, so draint gearbox fluid, plug had few metal fragments but nothing major been told thats normal, but oil seemed ok, any suggestions much appreciated thanks :D
-
maybe the sycro has gone just a thought
-
Mine has never been keen on 2nd gear when cold (from 30k miles to 120k now). I would agree with eugene in suspecting your synchromesh has gone - try double declutching?
-
always bad on second, i got an ashcroft recon one and they fixed the design flaw, smooth as silk now
-
How much that them mate, take it syncro is box out and in half job?
-
...what?
-
curios to how much ur recon 1 cost, and was asking anyone, if the syncro wud be a big job? lol cheers
-
As I understand it you send Ashcroft your old box and they send a reconditioned one with an upgraded 2nd gear. I didn't know this service existed but I think I know where I'll be going if mine ever needs replacing.

Does anybody have aqn idea of the price, cheers?

isnt selector spring or bias plate, think its gotta go to garage :(

Just got a recon one for the 90 cost me £517.50 including the carriage and thieving Government bit, Not the cheapest but in my opinion the best as I also have one in my RR. You may also need a new transfer gear and bearings about £75.00
