Synchroniser Assembly for 3rd and 4th gear, mounted on the mainshaft of the R380 five-speed manual gearbox.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FTC5101 synchro assembly do?
The FTC5101 is the third and fourth gear synchroniser assembly on the R380 five-speed manual gearbox's mainshaft. The sliding sleeve moves fore and aft on the selector fork, bringing the gear up to shaft speed through the synchro cone before the dog teeth engage.
What are the signs the FTC5101 synchro assembly needs replacing?
Crunching or resistance when selecting third or fourth gear is the main symptom of a worn synchroniser. As wear progresses, the gear may become harder to engage or grind under load, especially on quick or cold shifts.
How do I confirm the FTC5101 fits my vehicle?
This fits the R380 five-speed manual across Defender, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. Discovery 1 coverage starts from VIN FA393361, and Range Rover Classic from VIN JA610294, so confirm your chassis number matches.
What's the difference between the FTC5101 and the FTC5102 synchro assemblies?
The FTC5101 covers third and fourth gear synchromesh, while the FTC5102 is the separate fifth gear synchroniser assembly on the same R380 gearbox. They're not interchangeable, so order the one that matches the gear giving you trouble.
