Frequently asked questions

What does this needle roller bearing do in the LT85 gearbox?
This needle roller bearing supports the layshaft, or cluster gear, inside the LT85 five-speed manual gearbox. It carries the layshaft against the gearbox casing so it rotates under load while keeping the shaft aligned. It's fitted to V8 applications.
How many layshaft bearings does the LT85 gearbox need?
Two needle roller bearings are used per LT85 gearbox, one at each end of the layshaft. Order both if you're rebuilding the gearbox, since replacing them in pairs keeps the layshaft properly supported.
Which Land Rover does the LT85 layshaft bearing fit?
This bearing fits the LT85 five-speed gearbox used in V8 Land Rover Defender applications. The LT85 was the V8 manual box, so confirm your vehicle runs the LT85 rather than the LT77 or R380 before ordering.
Why does the layshaft bearing fail and when should it be replaced?
Layshaft needle bearings typically wear from high mileage and contaminated or low gearbox oil, causing a rumbling or whining noise and play in the layshaft. They're usually replaced during an LT85 gearbox rebuild. Replace both at the same time.
