Gearbox Bearing is the ball bearing that supports the primary pinion, or first motion shaft, in the main gearbox.

Located at the front of the gearbox where the input shaft enters the casing from the clutch, it locates the primary pinion against radial and thrust loads. It is renewed as a matter of course during a gearbox rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

What does the gearbox bearing do?

The gearbox bearing is the ball bearing that supports the primary pinion, or first motion shaft, in the main gearbox. It locates the pinion against radial and thrust loads where the input shaft enters the casing from the clutch. Fitted to 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Series and Defender gearboxes.

Where is the gearbox bearing located?

The gearbox bearing sits at the front of the main gearbox, where the input shaft enters the casing from the clutch. It carries the primary pinion against both radial and thrust loads, so the front of the box has to be opened to reach it.

When should the gearbox bearing be replaced?

Replace the gearbox bearing as a matter of course during any gearbox rebuild. A worn primary pinion bearing typically shows as a whine or rumble in neutral with the clutch up, easing when the clutch is pressed. Renewing it while the box is apart avoids a repeat strip-down.

Does this gearbox bearing fit V8 models?

No, this gearbox bearing fits 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Series I, II, IIA, III and Defender gearboxes, not V8 applications. Confirm your engine type before ordering, since V8 models typically use a different gearbox and bearing with different casing and shaft sizes.
