Has anyone had any experance with 1988 5 speed 4x4 diesel gearbag getting stuck in netural ? After a short tow ( 100mtrs ) she came free. it has done it before and came free after some stuffing around with the lever. The box has high kms, is a little noisy and dosnt mesh into gears well.
Cheers.

Gday mate. I've got a 91 2.8 and I've just started experiencing the same problem. I have had to pull over a few times, turn the car off then put it in gear and away i go again. i had hoped that maybe it was just low on gearbox oil, but having dropped the oil this arvo there was plenty in there. I'm having a look tonight for a fix for this. Have you found anything in the mean time since you posted?
