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......... Bodsys Brake Bible

WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by
a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.
Raise and support the vehicle.
If installed, remove the transmission undershield.
Remove the 6 bolts.
Remove the transmission heat shield.
Remove the 4 bolts.
Release the selector cable.
Using an additional wrench, restrain the clamping
bush and loosen the locknut.
Compress the latch and release the cable.
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....Bodsys Brake Bible
