Frequently asked questions

What is the Gear Change Cross-Shaft and what does it do?
The Gear Change Cross-Shaft sits in the gearbox remote and selector linkage. It transfers gear lever movement through the remote housing to the selector mechanism, converting lever inputs into selector rail movement to engage the chosen gear.
Which vehicles does this cross-shaft fit?
This fits the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998, VIN FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1991, to VIN HA610293). It covers both automatic and manual applications. Check your VIN against these breaks before ordering.
Why does the gear change cross-shaft cause imprecise shifting?
Worn cross-shaft bushes introduce lost motion into the linkage, which shows up as vague shifting and play at the gear lever. Renewing the cross-shaft and its bushes restores tight, accurate gear selection. Check for lever slop when diagnosing a sloppy change.
