       S2 gearbox rebuild.

       As my gear box jumped out of 1st and 2nd, mainly on deceleration
       I want to rebuild it as part of the full rebuild, would anyone
       know of a link to a step by step "how to" or the cause of it
       jumping out.

       If the rear nut on the mainshaft is loose the shaft which has
       1st and second gear on as well as 3rd can move laterally which
       may cause it to jump out of gear.
       The syncro hub has small teeth on the gears that locate the
       selected gears together if these are worn that can also let it
       pop out of gear.
       Take care to check the end float of the gears when fitted on the
       shafts as per Landrover manual.
       The actual selector forks can wear at the fork end that engage
       in the groove of the gear to transmit the selection.
       Do a web search for Logrovers web site he has some good photo's
       of worn gears so you know what your looking for .
       Post up pics of your parts and hopefully some one will advise.
       When you drain the oil try a magnet in it to see what amount of
       metal you find , heavy brass wear will be visible in the oil as
       flecks of brass.
       Any gear teeth that are very shiny are wearing and loosing there
       case hardened surface.
       Hardest part of gearbox rebuild is finding good quality
       replacement parts , some people actually rate Britpart parts as
       they are made for Britpart by another manufacturer I have not
       used them myself.
