Hi, this is intriguing. I've pulled open my gearbox twice and I've saved all the old bits because they're pretty.. sad, I know. I looked and compared, but I couldn't find anything that fit, and then I went through Geoffrey Croker's excellent videos. I wonder if it could be the dowel in the rear of the gear box where it mates with the transfer box. You can see it above the output shaft
here (time 3:55).
You would only find it if the box was disassembled, but are there any other mating dowels that I can't remember?
I don't offer this with confidence, only as a possibility.
In case the link doesn't work it's a youtube video called
Land Rover Restoration Part 2 - Gearbox 1/2
by Geoffrey Croker, time 3:55
Cheers,
Mike
