Thread: Auto Gear Selector

I have had a look through a couple of manuals I have and I can't seem to find any info on the gear selector for the ZF auto in my RRC.

My problem is that the lockout lever has stopped disengaging (for want of a better term). I can move it up and down, but the shifter will not go into first. At first, I thought the circlip had popped off the top, I removed the plastic cover and the circlip is still there. The pin moves up and down but doesn't "unlock" the mechanism to allow the transmission to shift into first. I need 1st as I do a lot of slow crawling off road, especially down hill.

Does anyone have a diagram of the mechanism? Or can tell me what may be broken? I have a spare auto, I just haven't had time to look at it as it is at my sisters house.

Finally had a chance to look at the car yesterday. It seems to be a plastic clip or something that has broken. Once I had removed the console I found a small plastic thing that looked like it had come off the bottom of the locking pin. What I also found was the housing that held the shifter was a bit loose. I tightened the 4 screws and then the shifter went into first again. I haven't fixed the locking pin though so now it will shift through all the gears without stopping. I think I will try and find a replacement shifter as a whole unit.
