Primary Pinion is the input gear of the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox.

Mounted on the primary (input) shaft, it takes drive from the clutch into the gearbox and runs in constant mesh with the layshaft cluster, from which the individual gear ratios are driven. This is the pinion for the four-cylinder (non-TDi) application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC4845 primary pinion used for?
The FRC4845 primary pinion is the input gear of the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox. Mounted on the primary shaft, it takes drive from the clutch into the gearbox and runs in constant mesh with the layshaft cluster. Fitted to the Land Rover Defender four-cylinder, non-TDi application.
Which gearbox and engine does this primary pinion suit?
This primary pinion suits the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox on the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006, specifically the four-cylinder non-TDi application. The pinion tooth count is matched to the engine, so confirm your engine and gearbox type before ordering.
Why does the LT77 primary pinion fail?
The LT77 primary pinion typically fails through worn input-shaft bearings and pitted or chipped gear teeth, often heard as a whine in the lower gears or on the overrun. It's usually renewed as part of a full gearbox rebuild, since the related bearings and layshaft wear together.
