Hi Everyone
I have been on several other forums and just joined this one. After battles with sticky valves using seafoam, changing plugs/wires, new kyb shocks, serviced my ACE pumps and putting some nice michelins on my 99 disco II , my wife is driving my two kids to school and "poof" there goes the front drive shaft into the tranny at 68K. So out of warrantly....
So LR gives me a price of $5400 as I bought the car for $7700, so now I am working with a local mechanic on getting a replacement tranny with 11K on it (90 day warranty) and looking at a Tom Woods Custom Drive shaft. My mechanics price (who works on LR toos) will bring it home for probably $2000-2500.
I am wondering if anyone has gone thru this and actually had the tranny working properly after this retrofit?
The worse part is the car was running PERFECTLY finally up until this point.
So I would appreciate any input here....Although maybe the less I know....
Thanks
Charlie L

If you do, run, do not walk to the nearest dealer to get a new one.
The other issue sounds linkage related and perhaps warrants a trip to a repair facility to adjust accordingly. Neutral drops aren't the best for the drivetrain on these vehicles!
