I need some help with this problem, i can't think of what this might be. I have a 95 d-90 and it's having a problem with the gears grinding between shifts but only at high revs. For instance, if i shift btw. 3500 and 4000 rpm the gears grind when i push the clutch in. I did the same thing 1000 revs less, no grinding. I also get the grinding if I double clutch in the higher rev ranges. The clutch doesn't seem like it's going or anything, all the gears engage crisp, there is no other problems that i can see. ANy ideas what this might be? | ||

it's a Fu***** Land Rover not a sports car. its not made to rev and be shifted hard. Take it easy on the poor girl and she will take care of you. | ||

Damn phillip how the hell is the guy supposed to drive. I agree 4000 is excessive unless on hills or towing but he will be in the 3000 range on shifts go easy. Try syncros first | ||

MOst commonly i'm shifting btw. 2000- and 3000 but this grinding is starting to work it's way down the rev range. Right now it's not a big deal because it rarely gets that high, but i'm worried for the future. Could a lack of transmission fluid cause this? | ||

maybe, when was the last time that it was checked/changed. I know lucas makes some tranmission fluids that stick to the surface better than regular fluids. I think there was a discussion about this in the Disco Technical discussions. Check over at www.D-90.com there should be some info there also. |
