Hi all,
Just purchased an 87 L300 after a great deal of hunting around. In great nick and drives like a dream. The other day after
parking suddenly there is no reverse gear or 5th, with no warning at all. I had a look at the unfamiliar linkages and all gears seem to select so I dropped the tray off the box (5 speed) expecting the worst.
There was very little metal in the oil and the inside of the box looked fine to my untrained eye.
There are 2 selectors run by cables from the gearshift, does it sound like a simple adjustment problem or do I need to look further? I also unhooked the linkages and tried to manually get the gears but still no joy.
It drives fine, no noises just no 5th or reverse! can even put it into reverse or 5th while driving and it acts just like as in neutral.
Cheers
