Frequently asked questions

What does the FRC9985 spherical bush do?
The FRC9985 spherical bush seats the pivot ball at the base of the gear lever inside the remote housing of the LT77 and R380 manual gearboxes. It's the bearing surface the lever swivels on when you select gears. Fitted to Land Rover Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models with these boxes.
What are the symptoms of a worn gear lever bush?
A worn spherical bush shows up as sloppy gear lever play and vague, notchy gear selection. As the bush wears, the lever loses its precise pivot and can rattle or feel loose. Replacing the FRC9985 restores a tight, accurate gearchange on the LT77 or R380 box.
How many FRC9985 bushes are needed to fix a notchy gearchange?
You typically need one FRC9985 bush per gearbox, since a single spherical bush supports the gear lever pivot. It's often worth refreshing the surrounding gearchange seals while the remote housing is apart, as they tend to wear together.
Which gearboxes does the FRC9985 bush fit?
The FRC9985 fits the LT77 and R380 manual gearboxes used in the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. The Discovery 2 and P38 use the R380 version. Confirm your gearbox type before ordering.
