snorkley:
hi there hope i can get some help on here with a problem with a friends series three 1981 x reg 109 diesel,before i attempt a fix on it,he has had problems with gearbox/transferbox/diffs,garages have "fixed it" but i personally dont think they really knew what they were doing,any way it was ok for a wee while but now if you put it in reverse it jams in gear and wont move backwards or forwards the only way to get it out of gear is to jack it up and jerk wheel back and forward until frees up and then it comes out of gear,it drives in forward gears fine,any ideas before i go mental trying to sort it,bare in mind it has had work done on gearbox,cheers gus

muddyjames:
it sounds tome he has it in high range 4wd (yellow lever down if i remember rightly) and so he is getting transmition wind up. I would suggest he checks it is in 2wd and try it again. Pull the red lever all the way back then forward.

snorkley:
ok will try that,but only as i know it is only used of road on the farm so its possible he keeps it in four wheel drive mostly,also i forgot to mention it has very wide tyres on it as it was converted to a crop sprayer but now only has a flat bed,so it is possible the transmission has wound itself up? i have a defender so not really familiar with the series landys,cheers gus

muddyjames:
if he has had it in 4x4 all the time then i would suggest he drives it about in 2wd for a bit especially if it is on tarmac.

snorkley:
ok,some people suggest driving it in circles back and forwards for a while? and its not really on tarmac but the ground its used on is fairly hard
