Defender Puma 110 gear change transmission problems

I recently had my Defender 110 go throughits first service and have since had problems with changing gear in low ratios between 1 and 2 where the stick will get stuck either in 1 or 2 on hills. I have to turn the engine off, put it into neutral restart the vehicle and make the gear changes, seriously annoying. I took it into the LR garage and they discovered a leaking rear transmission seal and also that the hand break was lose. a new seal and guard were fitted the original having a dent probably caused during some serious wady bashing. Now the hand break is firm but the stick still gets jammed from time to time although not as badly and the engine seems to lack revs and power in ratiosn 1 and 2. I'm worried there is a bigger problem. Does anyone have any advice and wht the underlying cause is and a remedy.

Many thanks Paddy

Could it be the selector gate? I don't know how that would be remedied by switching off and on again (that sounds more like a classic IT solution

).

There have been issues with the clutch release springs failing - it could be related. The dealers should know about that though and I would have thought they would have checked it first (a classic symptom is rattling when you turn it off). One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

Switching it off would stop the engine load - so clutch? Mike

I know it seems weird but when your stuck in traffick in an African city in the rush hour its been the only remedy.

OK well thanks it seems there are a couple of problems I think the selectorgate has come lose and the hand break cable and moderator need adjusting. Will let you know how I get on.

Does anyone know of a decent Landrover Puma maintenance manual, Haines don't seem to do one?

Well its now confirmed its the clutch which has gone after 12 months, rubbish. I have ordered another but I'm really unimpressed I have driven really knackered Defenders in Yemen, Iraq and Bangladesh and they still keep going after real abuse and this 09 Defender has had it relatively easy! Very disappointing.

Apart from my other problems, my 110 is going in to the dealers for a new clutch as well.

6 months old, and 8000 miles!!

A bit disappointing, to say the least!
