Floppy gearstick?

Wife has just rung - "I went to change gear and the gear stick is floppy/floating around and wont do anything?"
I told her to call LR Assist, however has anyone experienced this one before? Some say the glass is half full. Others that it is half empty. I say 'Are you drinking that?"

Same problem now with ours, there's no tension around the neutral position I.e. the stick flops between 3/4 and 5/6. Did you sort this problem out? -------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep - available as a repair kit from LR, but stocks are low - £7 ish.
You can get it back together from underneath and get someone to get it back into gear fro the drivers seat while you hold it together underneath - RAC man couldn't reach it for me at the roadside, but I managed it on the driveway once I got it home Thumbs Up

Took me 6 hours to fix it !!!! Send me a PM and I'll point you in the direction of a fix Thumbs Up

As it happened, about 2 weeks after the stick went floppy it self resolved and returned to normal. TFC had a look at it and lubed it up but we've had no recurrence. -------------------------------------------------------------------

Floppy Gearstick

I too have this problem in my 2005 D3 manual - i.e. gearstick flops between 3/4 and 5/6. Took car in to a landy specialist in Hants, but they said they couldn't fix it. Can you provide a bit more information on the fix?
Thanks
