Hi guys,

So lately my 2005 Land Rover LR3 has been slipping out of the drive gear.
It seems to only have slippage when I make a stop and it seems to not go in any gear it just shows blank so I have to hit it back to drive.

This is obviously dangerous because if I need to make a quick move in traffic and I dont notice the slippage, ill just sit there and rev untgil I put it back in gear.

So by habit every time im at a stop I check the dash to see if its still in gear just in case, or before I make a move in traffic I double check that its in gear first.

What could be the problem, do I need to replace anything.

Also, how much am I looking at to fix this??


Thanks guys!

 

@bbyer, could this be the RF Capacitor gone Tango Uniform?

 

Slipping out of gear usually means tranny gear linkage needs work. Check Disco3.co.uk , go to their WIKI .there is a write up on that .

 

Hi, thanks for the reply, i went to the site but whats WIKI?

I found this, is this what you were referring to?

If it is, I am not a mechanic so I would need to take my truck in for this.
ball park, how much am i looking at?

thanks again

 

Yep..that's the one.
I have no idea how much though.It sure will be cheaper than diagnosing transmission alone.I would start with this as it is a relatively simple job and most likely your case.Did not have to replace the part yet as I lubricate gear level every year to avoid rusting therefore causing problems down the road .good luck

 

awesome thanks, ill run this by my mechanic.
