billytheghillie Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have a 12 plate l200 warrior with 34,000 miles on clock. Problem with gear change from 4th to 3rd. it goes up the box okay, but coming down from 4 to 3 sometimes it doesn't engage even with double clutching. Someone told me it could just need new gearbox oil, but I have my doubts. Anybody shed some light on this? cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus1988 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 34000 miles seems awfully early for anything to be going wrong. I know very little about transmissions but have heard that poor clutch release can cause many different problems when it comes to changing gears. Does it crunch going into reverse?

Red-dot Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Unless you are driving your L200 like a hoon i cant see the box going in that mileage. What does wreck them is driving about in 4WD on dry roads and more so if in diff lock. I once heard of a young salesman wreck a new demo in a weekend.

billytheghillie Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 just had expensive quote from my local garage that I use, a couple of thousand he said they will drop gearbox, send it to Edinburgh for strip down and repair. Anyone know roughly the price for this kind of job, apparently its the 3rd gear synchro mesh that needs replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-dot Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Gumtree has loads for sale either removed or "breaking for spares". Hundreds not thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
