Frequently asked questions

What does the FRC6996 synchro hub do?
The FRC6996 synchro hub is part of the synchromesh assembly in the LT76 gearbox, splined to the mainshaft so it carries the sliding sleeve that engages each gear. It's for LT76 boxes from suffix D onward, fitted to Series 3 and Defender models.
Where is the synchro hub located in the gearbox?
It sits on the mainshaft inside the LT76 gearbox casing, part of the synchromesh pack between two gear pairs. Reaching it means splitting the gearbox and removing the mainshaft assembly.
Is FRC6996 the same as FRC2765?
Yes, FRC2765 is the listed alternative code for the same LT76 synchro hub, so either part number should get you the correct component for suffix D gearboxes onward.
Why does a synchro hub need replacing?
Synchro hubs typically wear where the sliding sleeve engages the dog teeth, causing gear changes to feel notchy or crunch on the way into gear. Worn synchro rings alongside the hub are the usual cause of clash when changing gear under load.
