im baffled for once

<< < (2/4) > >>

lrmike:
I think you've answered your own question:

As it only does the nasty noise in 4th, the tick only in 3rd and jumping out of second you need to reapir or swap out the main box.

The tick is likely a chipped gear tooth, the nasty noise and popping of 2nd maybe because of a damaged thrust washer or similar in the box.

hey dan

well looks like another gear box for you, uve only just changed it aint ya???


before reading some of the replys i was going to tell you to look at your passenger rear wheel/bearing, etc cuz when i was following you it had abit of a wobble on it, it may have been a bubble in the side wall of those simex, but i tryed to see if the wheel was wobbling aswell, well couldnt realy tell, but im atleast 80% sure it wasnt your tyre.... cud be just a few loose wheel nuts....... the drivers side rear wasnt doing it at all, so something is up with that, but dont think that its going to make the problems your having, but defo needs looking at

sorry for not telling ya sunday, completly passed my mind after getting there and forgetting my money :oops:


and i know ya dont need to hear this rite now but.................

......... ha ha you did break something, new it was too good to be true :D you may have not got stuck, and i did.... LOADS.... and u made every one elses vehicle look crap compaired to urs, but mine didnt break anything, well except for ripping off the tow bar and blowing the fuse to the trailer lights lol

sorry dan u know u always break something lol..... well hope ya get it sorted, cant keep the beast off the road for to long (should i say off-road), will be missed loads.... well if ya need help or a 75mm spanner u no where i am lol

Mine will sit happily in the gears until you nail it in fourth or fifth at low speed, then it starts juddering.

You cant be saying we all need new boxes (i had it before my box was changed and its there afterwards).

Is it clutch slip?

mmgemini:
I wonder at times what some people expect from a Defender.
I can manage 30mph[ actual] in 5th gear. That's about 1,100 rpm.
 I certainly don't expect any engine to be able to increase speed easily from that sort of position. I would be changing down.

Dan.I was going to suggest hand brake over adjusted. However if it's jumping out of second gear it looks as if the box needs to come out !!!

simonred90:
i'd start with a new box mate. is yours an LT77 or an R380?
