Interesting to see if the OP can actually get any help out of this whilst yer ramblin' on about Whitworth's.

Presumably gone off to talk to a garage about competent people for gearbox repair.

For what it's worth, the nearest Gearbox rebuild specialist is in the central belt ( I believe) and the cost for most, would be prohibitive. Try to find a usable second hand one and get Michael at Viking to fit it, is my advice.

I bought one for a Pajero off a specialist on Ebay. It arrived on a pallet and I had my local garage fit it. All in, it cost about £1000 but it has been in for a couple of years with no probs to date.

Hi guys, sorry not replied sooner but been extremely busy hmm Pixie diff locks! are they inter or cross axle? whitworth, whats that? sorry only joking had to dig them out couple of months back to remove an old landy gearbox.
Its as Upolian says could simply be worn/loose gear selector linkage or damage inside gearbox itself.

Thanks Ginajade and bobinovich, glad we could help you both out
just as an aside, that has already been spoken about on here, we're looking at getting quite a sophisticated diagnostic thingy wotsit, if it works out ok and we do get it, then we'll be doing an offer on a diagnostic stest on your vehicle (as long as the software we have covers it lol) for around the £30 mark. we just have to justify a couple of grand on one piece of equipment first!

I would like to thank all those comments sent in, my gearbox is now repaired. I took it to Ronnie Gow, lybster as he does all my vehicles and his son did a great job. Stripped it down repaired the 5th gear selector rebuilt it and hey presto moving again. To all those who seemed to have their own little beef to air.........................................I guess you mean well.. don't you!!

Glad you got it sorted
