Shuttering when changing up gears

[Jason H]

Hi, I have a 99 ln167r 3.0 litre , when I have the clutch pressed down for too long when in gear , say rolling up to a stop or reversing in the carport , like riding the clutch , it will get stuck in gear and I have to turn the car off to get it out of gear , until today I had to really reaf at it to get it out of gear , now my gear stick feels all sloppy , can still drive but feels like my gear sticks going to break , also I have a shudder when changing down gear slowing down ? I'm guessing my gearbox is ****** ??

Thanks in advance

Jason

clutch is prob dragging, needs adjustment or replacing.--could be buckled/might need faces skimmed too. < Thou shalt not drag> applies to driving and clutches.

also the bush on the bottom of the gear stick fell off that's why my gear stick is loose , this is the 3rd time I've had to replace it , I can't find it , when I took the stick out it was gone , is there anywhere it could of went to cause damage , even tho it's plastic

[Jason H]

What would the shuttering be / hard vibration when changing up gears slowing down ??

[Jason H]

When I change back up gears slowing down , there's shuttering , not sure if the gearbox is ****** or what , also the bottom bush of the gear stick has come off I got another one but I don't know where the other one went , will it cause any damage if its gone back inside the box ??

Any evidence of crash or hard knock to car from front or rear. == engine/g'box mounts bad, or tailshaft bearing? Sounds like it's had hard life. missing part-could damage things unless plastic-would get minced if it got in--may have been left out? Ppl do stupid **** rather than spend money to keep them going--farmers are very -------- creative.

Yea I replaced the bush not long ago , it's just the plastic bush that sits on the bottom of the gear stick , ahhh no evidence of a crash , it's not terrible but it's noticeable , only does it when going from 3 to second dosent do it any other time

It's alright I found the problem , rear unis busted

[Manxman]

I hadn't quite got that far, but I was thinking of it. Well done. will they repair or do you need a prop shaft?

[Jason H]

Ill just replace them and see how they go , it's only the rear but ill do both anyway

[Manxman]

check tailshaft center bearing-it may be unhealthy
