Frequently asked questions

What does the LT77 first speed gear do?
The first speed gear is the first-gear wheel that runs on the mainshaft of the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox. It meshes with its matching layshaft gear to give the first-gear ratio and is engaged through the first and second synchroniser hub.
Which vehicles and engines use this LT77 first gear?
This first gear fits the LT77 gearbox in the Defender with the 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine (non-TDi, suffixes A to F) from VIN (V)LA939975, and the Range Rover Classic with diesel engines. Confirm your gearbox suffix by VIN before ordering, as LT77 internals vary by build.
What are the signs the LT77 first gear needs replacing?
Typically a worn first gear shows up as whine, chipped or pitted teeth, or difficulty staying in first under load. On these gearboxes the gear and its synchro usually wear together, so it's often inspected and replaced during a full LT77 rebuild rather than on its own.
