Frequently asked questions

What does the baulk ring do?
The baulk ring is a synchroniser ring for the R380 five-speed manual gearbox. It serves the mainshaft 3rd/4th and 5th/reverse synchroniser hubs, matching shaft and gear speeds during a shift to allow smooth, crunch-free engagement.
Which vehicles does this baulk ring fit?
This baulk ring fits the Defender, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38 with the R380 five-speed manual gearbox. On the Discovery 1 it applies from VIN FA393361, and Range Rover Classic from VIN JA610294.
What are the symptoms of a worn baulk ring?
A worn baulk ring typically causes crunching or baulking when selecting 3rd, 4th, 5th or reverse, often worse when the gearbox is cold. The rings wear with mileage and hard shifting, so replacing them during a rebuild restores clean engagement on those gears.
