Nothing wrong with the box - I'd rather a five speed around towns and it's a bit clunky when cold, but other than that it's a good thing. Gives plenty of options in low range too.

I think it a good gearbox to. It's a bit notchy, but the throws are nice and short and the gears slot in to place in a firm and positive manner.
It better than the LT85 in my old county, which has excessive throw distance and is very slow from 1 st to 2nd. This 'box needed rebuilding due to no lube hole on output shaft and worn 1st to 2nd selector.

When you are lazy it can be driven as a three speed around town... 2,4 then 5th.
Would that wear the box/clutch out quicker Bilbo?

I get the clunk, I put it down as a 'land rover thing'.Quote:

Mine does this a bit, but I've found the trick is just to baby it until it warms up, or get on the gas a bit more so that she knows who is boss ;-)Quote:
