Ernest Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi all My 6 is running very well but ongoing issues with 2nd gear o/drive. 3rd and 4th gear o/d come in nice and smoothly. But 2nd gear o/d hardly works at all when first out on a run - delay in coming in, intermittent, and drops out sometimes - Once the car has been running for about 20 mins it seems to work OK. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. It was good today to be out on first decent run of the year! Reminder of how nice these car are to drive! Ernest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 That will be the switch on the gearbox, they do suffer from moisture ingress. Also adjustment of how far in and out they are screwed can make a difference too. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 My O/D problems have almost always been electrical- so much so that I installed a green "O/D on" light from and old Landrover to confirm when power is being delivered to the solenoid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
