Tough second gear

(1/2) > >>

Ollie:
For the last few thousand miles, I'm finding it difficult to engage second gear.
It's worse when the engine/gearbox/xfer box is cold, but even when running for a few hours, it's still a little reluctant to engage.
I've replace the oil and made sure it's topped up......

Ideas?

Cheers
Ollie

lukeLR90:
it could the box on the way out or the syncro is worn so it would be a new box

Saffy:
R380 gearbox ? What oil you put in?
MTF90 is the recommended lub by landrover (5 litres part number STC9157) 

Previously ATF was the recommended lub for the R380 but the MTF90 does give smoother gear change and a quieter drive train (in my experience).
 I have read elsewhere MTF90 has cured 2nd gear change problems

Ollie:
I've just starting using Difflock Evolution 1http://shop.difflock.com/difflock-evolution-fully-synthetic-speed-gear-litre-p-51.html, when I say 'starting', I mean that over the last few months I've been topping up with it.
Perhaps I should drain the ATF and replace it completely.....

Cheers
Ollie

Saffy:
that might be an idea... ;)
