Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8214 mainshaft and what does it do?

The FRC8214 mainshaft is the output shaft of the LT85 five-speed manual gearbox. It carries the driven gear wheels and transmits drive from the gear train to the transmission output. It's specified for V8 petrol Defenders running the LT85 manual box.

Which Land Rovers use the LT85 mainshaft?

The LT85 mainshaft fits Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 V8 petrol models from 1987 to 2006 fitted with the LT85 five-speed manual gearbox. It's specific to the V8 petrol and LT85 combination, so confirm your gearbox type before ordering.

Why might the LT85 mainshaft need replacing?

The LT85 mainshaft typically needs replacing when gear teeth wear or chip, or the shaft develops play, usually showing as whining, jumping out of gear, or difficulty selecting gears. Because it's the output shaft carrying the driven gears, damage here usually means removing and stripping the gearbox.

Is fitting the LT85 mainshaft a DIY job?

Fitting the LT85 mainshaft is typically a specialist job. It sits inside the gearbox, so the box usually has to be removed from the vehicle and stripped to access and rebuild the gear train. Most owners have this done by a transmission specialist.
