Rangie 4 speed man issue

[LandyAndy]

Hi Guys
Young bloke at work has a problem with his 84 Rangie.
His shifter has gone haywire,floping around.
He has been messing with the shifter and droped a spring into the gearbox and not found it by droping the oil.
Advice please Rangie Box friendly peoples ASAP.
He is on his way around for info.
Tried a search but had no luck.
THANKS
Andrew

should be an lt95, if hes dropped something in its got to come out and be stripped.

Either that, or keep driveing it:D








and wait till it fails and it has to be stripped, the missing bit removed AND the failed parts be replaced:eek:

Pull the floor section out....a big job in itself:(, remove the shifter top from the box and hope you can access it to get the spring out:eek:

Whatever the case, he will learn a valuable lesson and not drop something in a gearbag again:angel:

What about removing the inspection cover where the oil filler is ---may be able to see it or use a magnet :)

[Blknight.aus]

my money says that the part has fallen in and gotten itself in behind either the reverse gear shaft mount or the 2nd gear on the layshaft and is going to be just a little bit too big to work its way past.


just to be annoying you wont be able to get it out with a magnet on a stick becuase it wont flex enough to get in there and when it does the spring will magnet itself onto a gear or shaft and when it touches on a tooth it'll just fall back in place...

Dont ask how I know that thats where detent+ interlock springs fall, I just know.. (unless you have a better relation with murphy than I do.

Now he has been around a bit more info.
The shifter went AWOL,after a while he sorted it,ie got it in gear drove it home.
He droped the spring in whilst removing the shifter,it hasnt been driven since.
Borrowed him my remote grab and mag pick-up.

andy if he needs any gears of whatever i have a scrap lt95 it had no reverse on removal but the rest was ok as I remember, like i said if he needs internals, the rest of it is stripped.

Hi,

When I had a whole LT 95 in mine I noticed it was very slow to let the oil drain out when doing a change one day. Had the little screen inside the drain removed and could see what looked like a spring partially blocking the hole.

After a fair bit of ****ing around (Scouse will like this part) I got this ****ing spring out through the top of the box after removing the plate that holds the shifter. It needed a pretty ****ing strong magnet wand thing to lift it out.

The spring itself was missing one end and had been knocked around a bit, but had obviously been camped in the tube behind the little plastic filter for a while. It was the reverse lock out spring, which I replaced.

I'm suggesting that the missing spring in this thread may well end up in the same place..........behind the plastic filter which is behind the drain plug at the bottom / side of the box. Pull the filter out and have a look inside with a torch.

cheers, DL

All fixed and good news.
Shifter went AWOL due to the grub screw that secures into the ball on the pivot part of the shifter unscrewing itself.My mag pickup retrieved the spring intact.
One happy Jimmy:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
