It's a long time since I played with a Series box but I, too, remember something about detent springs. If I recall correctly, they can be accessed by removing a small plate on top of the 'box, underneath the middle of the seat box. Darren

Yes the detent springs are a strong possibility. Remove the floors, centre tunnel, and bell housing cover. The 1st/2nd selector shaft is the middle shaft, and it's detent spring is under the brass plug. It's dead easy to change the spring.
It is possible to undo the selector cover and inspect the condition of the selector shafts, you may find that the notches in the shafts have wear in them where the detent balls have been locating. If so, you can renew them without removing the box. However, you have to judge the chance of success against the overall condition of the rest of the box. If the synchro hubs are also worn, it could still jump out of gear. Worth a look though. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy |

if not the indents i think it may be the syncro rings on these gears. if this is the case it's a complete strip job. fingers crossed it'snot. 110 xs s/wagon
