Thread: Transfer lever jammed in neutral

Striped down.....croass shaft seaized solid.
Few hammer blows and some anti-size and se's good!
Bu still no drive

What were you doing to get neutral in the first place? Something go "bang"??? A bent lever/fork would be my uninformed guess, or you have lost the gearbox output spline due to wear as has been mentioned elsewhere.

Let me begin by saying I didn't do anything!
I got her cheap as the previous owner is about to be trialed with cruelty to Landrovers.
Took the "shack" car (a rare Defender 90) out for a run and overheated it. Was told to park it up so the mechanic could go over it. So he then took it down the beach again, overheated it again, bogged it to the arse and sized the transfer lever in N. I suspect too that the park brake was also jammed on which would not of helped it's extraction. The poor Landy was then scull dragged by a tractor back into town.
The local mechanic condemmed it. I had seen the car around and when I stopped in to see why it was back at his garage I was told the story and that it was for sale.
So that's how I got me a Defer 90!
Looks like the clutch is buggered so I will be extracting the gearbox to go over it and to hopefully renew the clutch (the bell housing is full of anti-clutch).
Head gasket it gone too so I will be doing that at the same time (might just stip it all down to give it some loving.
But at the end of it I will have a 90 to replace the city Zook I currently drive to work.
