Frequently asked questions

What is the Gear Lever Retaining Spring (219723) for?
The Gear Lever Retaining Spring bears down on the main gear lever's spherical seat to hold the ball into its housing (219714), keeping it located while letting the lever pivot freely during gear selection. It fits Land Rover Series models and early Defender with the LT76 gearbox.
What happens when the gear lever retaining spring wears out?
A worn gear lever retaining spring typically lets the lever lift in its housing, giving a loose, sloppy gearchange or the lever jumping in its socket. It's usually renewed alongside the gear lever housing (219714) to restore a positive shift on Series and LT76 Defender gearboxes.
How many retaining springs are needed?
Typically one gear lever retaining spring is fitted per gearbox, holding the single main gear lever into its housing. It's a low-cost part usually replaced while the gearbox top cover is off the Series or early Defender box.
