2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Java Black

Strong vibration in the gear shift lever

Hi guys,

110 Puma, 2007, 2nd hand. Generally works pretty well. Only at times at around 2200 RPM the gear lever vibrates and rattles. Does anyone know how to fix it? if i look at the stick, i see that the outer shell is slightly detatched from the upper knob (i hope i made myself clear)

I am pretty sure that there was some similar discussion on the site but culd not find it.

Little help please???

Some 2007/8 pumas had a overcut end on the gearstick. Mine was replaced no problem by LR and what a difference. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Only if you buy a new gear stick unit..... I would delegate to a indy or LR outlet. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Good point. I'll have to speak to the dealer...

I've got the same issues with my 90 SW. The gearstick vibrates and rattles, especially when you work the engine hard. Problem is, mines a 2009 and from what I can gather from previous posts this issue was sorted with models from 2009 and on?

mine had it as well - you need to replace both the gear stick and selector plate.
my understanding is that it isn't a big job.
makes a huge difference once it's done, so quiet and smooth! www.ralton.co.za

Got the same problem on mine under any load from about 1800 rpm. Told the dealer that the engine/gearbox had to be warm for it to happen, then to be told, when I asked them, that they took it round the block and couldn't find anything wrong

.

Now it's out of warranty

.

However, I have a fix. Turn the radio up!

Mine does exactly the same on a 57 plate but stops when you hold the gearstick.Did this problem come up as a bulletin which could be repaired by dealer even if the truck is out of warranty?
