Grasshopper Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sounds like it could be a bit of transmission wind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason1968 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi I have owned a few hippos mk 2 and mk2b and they were renound for sticking between gears what I used to do to resolve the problem was hook a land rover onto the rear towbar with a straight tow pole and get a mate to gently rock the hippo back and forwards while I sat in the cab and put pressure on the gear lever or transfer box lever whichever was stuck. This happened to me in the rush hour at a set of traffic lights in Bristol years ago very embarrassing. I eventually took the gearbox out and overhauled it and found that there was a circlip that had broken up which I replaced and I never had the problem again. I also turned the transfer box round fitted 1200.20 tyres and it would do 50 mph interesting to stop though!! I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooky Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have heard of this 'mod' but would the thing stop as it was going so fast ..... Eventually!!! However it wouldn't pull overdrive top gear unless on a slight downward slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
