Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Intermediate Gear for the LT230 transfer case gear train.

The intermediate gear is carried on the transfer case intermediate shaft and meshes with the input gear, transmitting drive to the front and rear output shafts. It carries the gear teeth for both high and low range, providing the ratio reduction selected by the range change mechanism.

A correctly meshed intermediate gear is essential to quiet, load-bearing operation of the transfer box; wear or damage here is a common cause of transfer case whine under load.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC5420 intermediate gear for?
The FRC5420 intermediate gear sits in the LT230 transfer case gear train on a Land Rover Defender. Carried on the intermediate shaft, it meshes with the input gear, carries the high and low range teeth and passes drive to the front and rear output shafts.
What are the signs the LT230 intermediate gear needs replacing?
Transfer box whine under load is the classic sign of a worn LT230 intermediate gear. Worn or chipped teeth cause a noise that changes with throttle and range. Left unchecked, the wear typically spreads to the meshing gears and shaft, so it's worth addressing early.
Which Land Rovers does the FRC5420 gear fit?
The FRC5420 is listed for the early Land Rover Defender LT230, up to 1986 on the 110 wheelbase, with gear suffix 10D or 12D. LT230 internals vary by ratio and year, so check your existing gear suffix before ordering.
