Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8179 3rd gear (Suffix D onwards) used for?
It's a 3rd speed gear for a manual gearbox, specified for Suffix D and later gearbox builds. It's a wear item inside the gearbox and needs to be matched to your specific gearbox's suffix code before ordering, since specs changed across suffix revisions.
How many FRC8179 gears are needed per gearbox?
Just one. It's the 3rd speed gear itself, not a matched pair or kit, so you only need one per gearbox rebuild unless you're also replacing the mating gear or synchro ring at the same time.
Why would the 3rd gear need replacing?
Gear teeth wear or chip with age and hard use, causing whining, jumping out of gear, or grinding on 3rd. If you're hearing noise specific to 3rd gear, worn teeth on this gear are a common cause worth checking during a strip-down.
What does 'Suffix D onwards' mean for fitment?
It means this gear is only correct for gearboxes built to Suffix D specification or later. Earlier suffix gearboxes use a different gear profile, so check your gearbox's suffix code, usually on a plate or casting mark, before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
