Frequently asked questions

What does the mainshaft bearing do in the gearbox?

The mainshaft bearing is the centre bearing that supports the gearbox mainshaft inside the casing. It keeps the shaft aligned and lets it rotate under load as drive passes through the gearbox. On Land Rover Series 2 and 3 gearboxes it's a common item to replace during a bearing overhaul.

Which gearbox and models use this mainshaft bearing?

This mainshaft bearing fits the Land Rover Series 2 and 3 main gearbox, originally listed for the Series II 2.0 petrol built between 1958 and 1961. Bearing sizes changed across Land Rover gearbox variants, so confirm your gearbox type and the mainshaft centre support before ordering.

What are the signs the mainshaft bearing needs replacing?

A worn mainshaft bearing usually shows up as a rumble or whine from the gearbox that changes with road speed, and sometimes play in the mainshaft. On Series 2 and 3 gearboxes it's typically renewed during a full bearing overhaul, since stripping the box to reach it is most of the work. Left unchecked it can damage the shaft.
