Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC2301 mainshaft bearing and what does it do?

The FRC2301 mainshaft bearing supports the mainshaft inside the LT85 five-speed manual gearbox, carrying the rotating shaft and keeping it aligned under load. It's fitted to the LT85 gearbox used behind the V8 engine.

Which gearbox and vehicles use this bearing?

This bearing fits the LT85 five-speed manual gearbox used in the V8 Land Rover Defender 90 and 110. The LT85 was the box fitted to V8 models, so confirm your vehicle has the LT85 rather than the LT77 or R380 before ordering.

What are the signs the mainshaft bearing needs replacing?

A failing mainshaft bearing typically produces a rumble or whine from the gearbox that changes with road speed, and in bad cases play in the mainshaft. On the LT85 it's usually renewed during a gearbox rebuild rather than on its own, since the box has to be stripped to reach it.
