    It might be a bit more common in Defenders, and I’m not a mechanic, but it seems it can happen to any brand. ...these problems sound pretty common in Toyotas to over the years

    Oh dear.
    Apparently the Mustang MT82 'box has been made there from the beginning and I remember reading about these sort of things happening way back then.

    20km from home at the end of a 5 week touring trip i lost 3rd gear. Spoke to specialist gearbox mechanic today. Could be a failed syncro or stripped gearset. Find out next week when the box is opened up. Was told that LR use quality bearings but use a synco with a gap between teeth that can slip and fail. The Ranger and Mustang MT82 use chinese made bearings (crap was the words used) but a better gear and syncro set up.

    The plan is to rebuild the box with the best of available parts. Bloody defender has bled me dry over the past 6 months.

    Gearboxes can and do fail in any vehicle but I think overall the MT82 box in the Defender is pretty good.

    While I have done dozens of clutches and adapter shafts, I only changed out my first starter motor on a Defender 2.4TDCi (puma) today.
    Regards
