We have a Series II 109 SW that shifts fine double clutching from first to second when it's warm out (50F +) but at colder temps we are grinding some. Just had slave and master cylinders replaced. All other shifting is good. Any ideas? Thanks.

Put the transfer case in neutral after you start it and put it in gear to let it soften up the oil for a minute. It might help.Comment

We have replaced the fluid. Will try the warm up of the transfer case since temperature is clearly part of this. Thanks.Comment

The same happens to me. Once I drive for about five mins, its fine. But I like that neutral idea. I am using 80w90 if that helps.1969 Series 2a BugeyeComment

Could also be the pilot bush giving some extra friction.Les Parker

Redline
Use Redline shockproof gear oil, best thing I have done to the ambulance. Acts like it is summer in the coldest weather. Quiets the gearbox and shifting is improved1968 battlefield ambulance/camper

I like westcoastkevin idea. I'm running 80/90w too. I think my tranny leaks too much oil to put Redline in it, but I bet it works like a charm otherwise.'67 sIIa 88Comment

Thanks again for all the good advice. It does shift just fine after a few minutes warmup. The neutral idea helped. I also at first just shift into second a little early with no grinding.Comment

Mine is just the same. Once I drive for about five minutes, its fine. All my Land-Rovers have been like that. I am also using 80w90.Comment

Not that this will help, but.. Most of the time when driving around in the city,
I start off in second.
I do start in neutral, and always let my Series warm up a bit before leaving.Comment
