Cant get out of gear

[eckwalsh]

Hey guys. In a bit of strife.
Just about to leave the country music festival at Tamworth.
Hooked up the trailer went to take off and can't get my puma out of first gear. Was driving around in it . backed up to the trailer, hooked it up and when i took off i couldn't/cant get it out of first gear.
Any ideas or can someone tell me the 24 hour assist number.
Thanks heaps.

Please post up what the fault ends up being.

Have a search on the Defender2 forum. There's a number of gearbox issues reported there (mostly UK), nothing about 1st gear though. See if anything sounds like yours.

Jst had a bit of a scroll through this forum.
nothing really the same. A few stuck in referse tho. Mines stuck in first but seems like it's in neutral.Was thinking about lifting 2 wheels off the ground incase there was some form of wind up. Would this be a pointless exercise?

Have you tried moving the diff lock lever? If its got a neutral feeling to it you may have jumped the CDL into neutral. I doubt its the case though as it sounds more like an actual gearbox issue.

I notice on Defender2 there was this posting: Defender2 - View topic - 2007 GEARBOX ISSUES and whilst its reverse gear it sounds similar.

Thanks Dm i did try the high/low lever. Will try the diff lock but the light isnt on.
Did read that post and it does sound the same but in reverse gear.
Will go out and try the diff lock.
Thanks
