Defender 300 tdi gear stick problem

[jerryd]

The gearstick on my 1996 Defender has gone really sloppy and first and second gear seem to have moved 200mm to the left [bighmmm]

Reverse gear is impossible to find, I'm about to investigate by removing the gearstick assembly to have a look but not sure what I'm looking for. Can't find much info on google

The spring with the pin running through it isn't broken as suggested by M R Automotive

I had some silicate the other year, from memory there was a grub screw that held a shaft in place had come loose.

I pulled the top cover off.

A forum member helped me over the phone while o was stuck on the side of the road.

That was exactly the problem with this one, so an easy fix [bigwhistle]

I treated it to two new gear knobs also, it now changes gear like never before [smilebigeye]
