Synchro Assembly Synchroniser unit for 5th gear on the mainshaft of the 5-speed manual gearbox.

The synchroniser matches the rotational speed of the mainshaft and the 5th-gear wheel as the gear is selected, allowing smooth, clash-free engagement. Wear in this assembly is a common cause of difficulty selecting 5th gear or of the gear jumping out under load.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FRC9389 synchro assembly do?
The FRC9389 synchroniser assembly matches the speed of the mainshaft and the 5th-gear wheel as you select 5th, giving smooth, clash-free engagement. It fits the 5-speed manual gearbox in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006). It's an OEM replacement.
Which gear does this synchro cover on the Defender gearbox?
This synchro covers 5th gear on the mainshaft of the Defender's 5-speed manual gearbox. It's specific to the 5th-gear position, so it won't address synchro wear on the lower gears, which use their own synchroniser units.
What are the signs this synchro needs replacing?
The usual signs are a crunch or graunch when selecting 5th and 5th jumping out under load. These point to a worn 5th-gear synchro on the Defender's 5-speed box. Replacing it restores clean engagement and stops the gearbox slipping out of 5th.
