Frequently asked questions

What does the gearbox selector shaft pin do?
The gearbox selector shaft pin is an interlock pin that stops more than one gear being selected at once. It sits between the selector shafts, locking the idle rails while one gear is engaged. It fits Land Rover Series 1 and Series 2 and 3 gearboxes. Part number 55697.
Where does the selector pin sit in a Land Rover Series gearbox?
The selector pin sits inside the selector mechanism of Land Rover Series gearboxes, between the selector shafts or rails. It locks the rails that aren't in use so only the chosen gear engages. Typically it's accessed only when the selector housing is opened during a gearbox rebuild.
What are the signs the selector interlock pin needs replacing?
Signs the selector interlock pin needs replacing typically include jumping out of gear, difficulty selecting a gear, or being able to engage two gears at once. On Land Rover Series gearboxes a worn interlock pin usually shows up during a rebuild. Replace it whenever the selector mechanism is stripped.
