Frequently asked questions

What is the Reverse Gear (561960) used for?
The Reverse Gear engages the reverse idler when reverse is selected, inverting mainshaft rotation so the output shaft drives the vehicle backwards. It sits inside the main manual gearbox casing as part of the geartrain. Listed for the Land Rover Series 2 and 3.
Where does the reverse gear sit in the gearbox?
The reverse gear sits within the manual gearbox casing, meshing with the reverse idler to reverse the drive passed from the layshaft cluster to the mainshaft. It's an internal geartrain component, not an external part.
How do I confirm this reverse gear fits my Land Rover?
This reverse gear is listed for the Land Rover Series 2 and 3, specifically the Series IIA (1964-1971) reverse gear assembly. Gearbox internals changed across Series production, so confirm your gearbox type before ordering.
What are the signs a reverse gear needs replacing?
Typically worn, chipped or noisy teeth on the reverse gear cause difficulty engaging reverse, grinding, or jumping out of reverse. If reverse is unreliable while the forward gears are fine, the reverse gear or idler is usually the cause.
