Update: Selector Rod Selector Shaft. I found the specific steps on page 44-25 of the Workshop Manual (VDR 100090 ENG (6)).

Please see photos below.

The threaded end of the shaft broke and was tack welded to enable temporary shifting. Does anything have experience changing? I was able to find a replacement rod from a salvage supplier.

Once the valve body is removed, are there any suggestions? I'm taking video of everything, but I can't find video of this job precisely. Can anyone help? Thanks

Selector rod replacement

 

The only way to replace I believe is to remove the transmission so the rod can be slid in from the side. I have heard of people drilling a hole on the driver side floor to do it without removing the transmission. If you search this forum you might find the post.

 

Thanks. I did see that post. I thought it was about only dropping the valve body, not the entire transmission. You're saying the entire transmission assembly correct? I could drill through the floor, that's not an issue. Was hoping there was another way.

 

(Updated original post after further research.)

 

STOP!

In the last year or two a forum member posted a method to remove and replace the selector shaft without dropping the trans by cutting a hole through the trans tunnel.

You can look for the thread. I will look for it too and post the link if/when I find it.

 

Found it.

yes dropping the whole transmission

 

Thanks. I'm going to try the method described in the post on Land Rovers Only.

 

Thank you very much @mln01 for taking the time to find that post.
