Hard Gear Shift After Transfer Case Overhaul - Land Rovers Only

royemaun · 08-17-2005, 02:35 AM

Hi all,

I need help on my LR Discovery I '98 3DR V8i 3.9. After overhauling the transfer case - to stop the leak, the gear shift seems to hard to shift especially on 1st gear - not the same when it has leaks. What seems to be the problem? Please help!

cheers,

stupid question but when you removed transfer case maybe you bent a rod to your gear box? other than at i can't see how a transfer case rebuild would impact your gear box.... is it just first that's hard to move into or all the gears?
take care

Well the most hardest is the 1st gear, 3rd and reverse is also hard to move. I know that my gear box has nothing to do with the overhaul. FYI the overhaul job was done by a friend who works for a LR dealer here in Saudi. I couldn't imagine why an overhaul job to the transfer case would give a gear problem after that. Gear was 100% smooth before it was sent to the workshop. My friend mentioned that he has changed the clutch oil from the reservoir to DOT 4 (not through bleeding) could that be the cause?

By the way I gave up a honda civic 2002 model for this Disco a couple of months ago and i want to find solution for whatever problems (that has come up)/it may arise later on from this forum. Please help and not criticize.

cheers,
