They are lying!!!
The new ones are just as cr*p as the old ones!!
They go just as quickly.

| Re: Resolving issues with Puma Clutch, flywheel... | |
The Friendly Lyon wrote:G'day fellas. Over the weekend I was driving my 2007 Defender 110, when suddenly I couldn't select second gear. I pulled over to the side of the road and tried selecting first, then reverse. Nothing. Then wild rattle started to surge from what sounded like the gearbox. Soon after something grabbed when I again tried to engage the gears. I had to kill the engine to stop it. After finally shifting into low range and then high again, I managed to drive my truck home, however, the rattle remains.
I've since been reading the threads on various forums, including those here, detailing known issues with the PUma clutch. Despite my foraging, I still haven't located any advice around solutions for the problems. I've since taken my truck the the Land Rover specialists who service it. They have indicated they will need to remove the box to make a proper inspection and diagnosis but suspect it could be the flywheel. Early indication of cost if this is the problem are around AUD$3000.
Does this sound about right to anyone who may have had a similar problem? And, is this something that you might be able to DIY fix with the right parts and workshop manual?
Appreciate any advice anyone has...
