Cable/Rod Snapped???

I took my 2006 LR3 to a local garage after experiencing the same issue with the gear shift sticking and coming out of drive.

I gave the garage a Print Out of the fix from the forum which seem very self explanatory. They told me no problem they could do it and it would cost around $75, which was fine.

I got a call from them about 4 hours later and they told me that when they were removing the bottom bolt/nut that it snapped the Cable/Rod tip????????????????????

They said they called the Stealership and there is no fix except to replace the whole transmission. $7,000.

So I went from a $75 quick clean of the bits to $7000 replacing a whole transmission because the Rod is broken.

Someone please tell me there is another way to Fix the Rod/Cable or Replace it... I feel sick just thinking about it.

Thanks in advance.[/quote]

if they snapped the cable, then a replacement cable back to the gear lever. Unless they've broken the shaft in the gearbox somehow......... Shocked Shocked

They Shaft in the gearbox isn't broken only the cable/rod (see picture). Are you saying that you can just replace the cable/rod?

If so where do you find a replacement part for this.

Bodsy,

Your a God Send!!!!

So it can be replaced, I'm looking online and I can't find the cable I've come across the Gear Selector Bush kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Land-Rover-LR3-LR4...mp;vxp=mtr

Is there a site where I find just the cable assembly?

Thanks again for your help and advice!

I wonder if they followed the guide to the letter! I bet not. Maybe they should pay for the new cable?

they'll have just turned the outer nut & not kept hold of the inner nut that retains the cable....

Okay,

Bad news I was just speaking to the Garage thats doing the work. They said the Rod/Cable is not what snapped.

It's the Upper portion of the Transmission Case the threaded steam where the nut attaches to broke off Sad

So this changes the Ball Game... any ideas???

unless the casting has broken, why not use a Helicoil or similar if its just the threaded bit that has broken.
