I've been having a lot of trouble shifting gears. I described the problem to a (probably) reliable source on a Facebook group. If you guys are interested I'll copypaste the email conversation we had. Boiled down, this source said that my shifting problem is probably due to a buggered linkage. I've researched the problem as best I can, but I've never taken apart a gearbox or even pulled one from a vehicle. I know in principle how to get it out and I have access to the required equipment to make it easier, but my real question is this: how difficult would it be for me, a relative novice, to pull apart the top of the gearbox, fix the linkage, put it all back together, and not have any extra parts left over? Taking it to a mechanic would be nearly impossible; I've looked extensively and there's nobody within land rover driving distance who wants to touch a series vehicle with a 10 foot spanner.
If it's not the linkage, what are other possibilities? I plan on replacing the clutch master cylinder regardless, it's the original and the slave cylinder is less than 10 years old. Getting another gearbox is something I'm willing to consider, but I'd like to avoid spending the money.
