Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8215 front cover gasket for?
The FRC8215 front cover gasket seals the front cover against the LT85 gearbox case, retaining oil at the input end of the box. It suits the 22C split-case LT85 5-speed gearbox used on V8 Defender 1987-2006 models, and is fitted whenever the front cover is disturbed.
When should the FRC8215 gasket be replaced?
Replace the FRC8215 front cover gasket whenever the LT85 front cover is removed, typically for input shaft seal renewal or gearbox overhaul. Gaskets are single-use; once torqued and disturbed the old one won't reseal reliably, so a fresh gasket goes on each time.
How do I confirm the FRC8215 fits my gearbox?
The FRC8215 fits the LT85 5-speed gearbox in its 22C split-case form, used on V8 Defender 1987-2006 models. Check your gearbox is the LT85, as the 4-cylinder and diesel Defenders used the LT77 or R380, which take a different front cover gasket.
