I have a 2001 V6 5 door auto, Freelander. The 3 year warranty has almost expired. I dropped the car off at the dealer for a final check. I mentioned that the gear change was a bit clunky. 2 hours later I was offered a hire car because the gearbox needs to be replaced.
I believe that it is not uncommon for the gearbox in Freelanders to be replaced. Any comments and are there other major bits that need to be replaced.

I believe the IRD is a common weak spot. This transfers drive to the rear wheels. This may be what they are actually replacing.
Sounds like your dealer is on top of it though - which by all accounts is unusual in Australia I assume it's a free of charge replacement?
