Needle Bearing is an internal roller bearing used within the LT77 5-speed and R380 5-speed manual gearbox assemblies.

Needle roller bearings of this type support rotating shafts inside the gearbox casing, reducing friction and wear at high rotational speeds. This bearing is replaced during gearbox overhaul when wear or damage is found on inspection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC5280 needle bearing used for?

The FRC5280 is a needle roller bearing fitted inside the LT77 five-speed and R380 five-speed manual gearboxes. It supports a rotating shaft within the gearbox casing, reducing friction and wear at high rotational speed. It's an OEM bearing replaced during gearbox work.

Which gearboxes and models take the FRC5280 bearing?

The FRC5280 fits the LT77 gearbox in the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994), and the R380 gearbox in the Defender, Discovery 2, and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001). Match it to your gearbox type before ordering.

When should the FRC5280 needle bearing be replaced?

Replace the FRC5280 bearing during a gearbox overhaul, or whenever inspection shows wear, pitting, or damage to the rollers. A worn needle bearing typically causes noise or roughness from the gearbox. It's standard practice to renew bearings while the box is stripped.

How do I confirm the FRC5280 is the right bearing for my gearbox?

Check the FRC5280 against the bearing location in your gearbox, since the LT77 and R380 contain several needle bearings of different sizes. Match the part number to your gearbox diagram or the bearing you're removing before fitting, as bearings aren't interchangeable between positions.
