Transmission Handbrake Shoe Set is the friction pair for the drum-type parking brake mounted on the rear output of the transfer box.

When the handbrake lever is applied, the rod-operated mechanism expands these shoes against the brake drum to lock the transmission output and hold the vehicle stationary. Renewing both shoes together maintains even, balanced holding force.

Supplied as a matched set of shoes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STC965 Transmission Handbrake Shoe Set?
The STC965 Transmission Handbrake Shoe Set is the friction shoe pair for the drum-type parking brake mounted on the rear output of the transfer box. Applying the handbrake expands these shoes against the drum through the rod-operated linkage, locking the transmission output to hold the vehicle. This is the Mintex version, supplied as a matched set.
Do I need one shoe or a set for the handbrake?
You need the full set, as the STC965 pack contains the matched pair of shoes for the single transmission drum. Fitting both shoes together keeps the parking brake balanced. Inspect the drum surface and the expander mechanism for wear before reassembly, since worn hardware reduces holding force.
What causes the transmission handbrake to stop holding?
The transmission handbrake typically stops holding when the shoe linings wear down, oil from a failed transfer box output seal soaks the linings, or the drum glazes. On the Defender and Discovery 1, curing the oil leak first is essential, otherwise fresh Mintex shoes will quickly contaminate and slip again.
Which models use these handbrake shoes?
These shoes fit the rod-operated transmission parking brake on the Land Rover Defender (1983-2006), Discovery 1 up to chassis WA799999, and Range Rover Classic to gearbox number 36D22144A. Confirm your chassis and gearbox numbers before ordering, as earlier and later variants use different arrangements.
