    Yes, it is a common fault, I have replaced several over the years,that repair method shown by AdsLandies is about the best I have seen,common in series 2/2a's as the crank in the lever multiplies the force,not a lot one can do,but with both Series and Perentie do your gear change to the count of 3,out-neutral-into gear,the flywheel on both types will have enough inertia to do the change, and it is easier on the drivetrain.

    cheers

    For the repair of the one in the 1951 tropical trial, the RAEME Mec drilled and tapped the ball and threaded the shaft before welding them up.

    Would have had to drill a bit deeper than this repair and would have made a very short stick as the early S1 sticks were about 3" shorter than later ones.


    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    LOL, yep snapped two of them... One in a Series 3 FACE car had to drive back with long handled screwdriver from the back of pucka range to RC and the second in a 110 in cambodia over-loaded to the hilt with mine protection trying to get away from drunken KPAF soldiers shooting crap up it got flatbeded to Patay Australi.

    Hey, Bisaro, what model Landrover are we talking about,$450 Gee!, you could import one for a LT95 G/box 110 County from Paddocks in England by air for less than that,or get a S/hand one from M.R.Autos in Qld for cheaper while the new one was on order through M.R.'s

    They could also get a new one from UK for your Series either 4cyl 2/2a or 3.
