hi,
I recently got my series 3 landie going the other week. ( I purchased it as an unfinished project) and I am having issues with reverse gear. Whenever I am reversing up any sort of incline, it keeps jumping out. Would it be the spring thingsd that "lawnmower" has on his gear box? All the other gears seem fine, although when I was coming down the toowoomba range (QLD Aust) I was using 2nd gear and it jumped out of that twice. The vehicle had been sitting for approximately 5 years and was a one owner and isn'e ment to have even done 100,000kms. Any other ideas?
the cross member in the chassis below the gearbox is removable too, so ifneed be I could take the gear box out easily, howevr I don't really want to spent too much yet.
If it is those springs, what the best way to replace them.
Thanks for all your help,
Dick
