Ok so I'm going to need to have some welding done in any case. Though at this point I still don't understand how this rod is a part of the gear changing..

By the way, I was able to drive it normally, only did less than a kilometer, but still. 4H and 4L working just fine, didn't change up to 3rd gear though, 1st and 2nd worked as usually. If i recall correctly.. Jimny has been sitting for over a month at this point.

The gear linkage has 2 rods. One that moves and one that is solid, the steady rod. This is what has snapped on yours. When it did on mine the gear change was just a bit sloppy and that rod was rubbing on the transfer box propshaft.

Gold Jimny the best colour (sold)

Big red Jimny 32" tyres, arbs, cage 5:1 transfer etc. (Sold)

Grey pick up Jimny
Turbo m13a, arbs, floating rear shafts, disc conversion rear, vented front conversion. 245 70 16. Winch, 3" lift, 4:16 trans hd shafts and CVS

Thanks for your quick responses. This seems clear to me now. I'll try to get it welded somewhere, as I don't happen to have the equipment of my own..

What kind of a sound would your rod make when it rubbed the shaft? Like some grinding or? This one does a really loud, sharp clicking noise which got us worried and we didn't want to drive it anymore.

Cheers, appreciate your help.

Right, thanks. I guess someone should do some engineering and figure out a better way to attach it. A stronger mount. Wonder if it had any influence on the operating of the gearbox if this end of the rod was attached a bit closer to the ground than it originally is..

Ah, Dave, what parts did you take off the jimny to make room for the welding, perhaps the gearbox-transfer case shaft?
