5th Gear Bias Spring is the gearchange bias spring within the LT77 gearbox shift mechanism.

It applies spring load to the selector to bias the gear lever back towards the central gate, so the lever returns from the outer plane and does not drift into 5th gear unintentionally. A small service item renewed when the lever bias weakens.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FRC8490 5th gear bias spring do?

The FRC8490 5th gear bias spring loads the gearchange selector in the LT77 gearbox so the lever springs back to the central gate. It stops the lever drifting into the 5th gear plane on its own and gives the positive centring you feel moving across the gate. It's a small internal gearchange part.

What are the signs the bias spring has worn out?

The bias spring usually needs replacing when the gear lever feels vague across the gate or no longer springs back to centre, and can flop towards the 5th plane. On the LT77 gearbox a weak or broken bias spring is a common cause of poor lever centring and accidental gear selection.

Which vehicles does the 5th gear bias spring fit?

This 5th gear bias spring fits the LT77 gearbox on the Land Rover Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic. Discovery 1 fitment runs from VIN LA081991. Land Rover used different gearboxes across these models, so confirm your vehicle has the LT77 5-speed manual before ordering.
