    Defender gearbox

    Yesterday, without warning and with no provocation, I lost reverse and fifth gear on my 1996 Defender.

    Probably something simple. No noise. No stiffness in stick.

    Stick goes into gear, but no drive.

    Has anyone experienced this before?

    All other gears normal!

    Could be embarrasing in the field....

    Regards, Bill

    Its a funny place to put a post like this, In the Beer section
    But your answer lies here

    Put simply The layshaft extension has sheared off effectively disconnecting these two gears. You require a rebuilt or new gearbox.
