Hello all,
My 1965 Series 2 has developed a horrific clattering sound in 2nd and 3rd gears around the shifter/transmission tunnel area. Drained the transfer box and theres some yellow sparkles in the oil. So thinking theres a rebuild to do now. I don't have the space or a barn to rip it out and try to tackle it myself so a British shop it must be.
After calling around to a few places, everyone seems to have no issue scheduling a drop off in a few weeks; however, one shop immediately said that he can't get all the parts and the ones he can are going to be months out on order.
Has anyone here recently had or heard of this issue? I can't believe with such a following that no one can rebuild a Land Rover 2 gearbox anymore and source the parts to do so. But I also don't want to feel blindsided if someone puts it into pieces and I get dreadful news it can't be saved.
