My Throw out when to pot. I got the clutch and bearing for Paddock in England $130 ???
I changed the box too while I was at it, as the 2nd gear syncro was shot and 3rd was on its way-out Why remove the box to change a throw out you might as well replace the lot while its all out. You’ll only be taking it out again later.
Got the box from Rovers down south $1300, and my shop fitted the lot for $900.
Syncro going out on these 5 speeds is not uncommon when the miles get high. Most of the time it’s caused from its past owners shifting it like a Porsche or any other sports car for that matter.
If you’re going to keep the truck and you can find someone to rebuild it do it. I couldn’t find anyone that would do it for less than a $1000 so I when the rebuilt option.
You can get boxes from Ashcroft in England for around $800 but then you have to ship the old one back. Look at rangerover.net they have some info.
I’ve done this job myself years ago on my Cousins Disco. Trust me it’s a pain in the ass you don’t want to go there the box is fringing heavier than hell.
As for leaks cranking things down would always stop leaks for the cost and ease of doing the job change the value cover gaskets and any others if you can
And I still get a rumble from my Throw out on idle in Neutral
