My son has a Gu patrol 2.8 ltr turbo Deisel long wheel base and at present it has lost 5th and reverse gear 1st through to 4th are fine but to get 5th and reverse it doesnt want to know about it. Are there any Patrol people out there that might know where we should start to fix the problem cheers.

Hi Duane
If he has lost 5th and reverse only, it is not likely to be a stripped spline etc. I would be looking more at the shift mechanism. From what I can see in the manual, reverse and 5th have different shift forks but has a common
fork rod. This
fork rod is bolted to the reverse
fork and if this bolt has broken then you would loose both reverse and 5th.
I do not know if you can get to the top of the box through the flloor or not but either way, I would be removing the top of the box to have a look as it may be a simple fix.
Reverse, 5th and the shifting mechanism is housed in the rear OD housing, which looks to be easily removed without having to touch the rest of the gear box.

Thanks for the info Chris i think your on the money .I dont beleive the spline is striped as the box showed no gradual failing when changing into 5th and rev it just jammed so i will look through the top and hopefully find what you have explained thanks again.
