Hi everyone, the old boy has a 08 130 we use on farm, driving around harvesting yesterday stopped at silos to do stuff and i had to drive it home from there when ever i finished. Finished work in a rush jumped in and hit the key it was in 1st so i tried taking it out, nothing stuck as. can wobble the gear stick like its in N but is there anyway somthing could of come a drift????
its a long drive home in 1st gear at 15k when you have 15k to go.......:(

A grub screw used to come loose on the R380 box gear lever but I have no idea if it could be the same issue with the 6spd box.

Any update on this?

I had a phone call re a Puma stuck in gear (probably first). All I can find on the 'net is this. The Defender in question has VIN 7770nn.

Defender 2.4 Puma - Poor gear selection. (http://landroverone2one.com/index.php/89-known-model-concerns/defender/99-defender-2-4-puma-poor-gear-selection?&cal_offset=38n)

Is this a gearbox out repair?
