Frequently asked questions

What is the gear change retaining plate for?
This retaining plate holds the gear selector mechanism components in position inside the gearchange housing of the LT77 and R380 5-speed manual gearbox. It keeps the selector assembly located so gear changes stay precise. It's fitted to the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006.
When is the gear change retaining plate replaced?
This plate is usually replaced during a gearbox overhaul or when addressing worn, sloppy gear selection on the LT77 or R380 box. It's an internal part, so access means stripping the gearbox. It's a Genuine Land Rover component for Defender models up to 2006.
Does this fit both LT77 and R380 gearboxes?
Yes, this retaining plate fits both the LT77 and R380 5-speed manual gearboxes used in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006). The R380 replaced the LT77 during this period. Confirm your gearbox type, as the surrounding selector parts can differ between the two units.
