Frequently asked questions

What is the R380 layshaft?
The layshaft is the countershaft of the R380 five-speed manual gearbox. It carries the constant-mesh gear cluster, transmitting drive from the input shaft to the mainshaft and meshing with the mainshaft gears to establish each ratio.
Which gearbox does the FTC1416 layshaft fit?
The FTC1416 layshaft fits the R380 five-speed manual gearbox on the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), from gearbox suffix F onward. Check the suffix letter stamped on your gearbox before ordering, as earlier suffixes use a different layshaft.
What are the signs an R380 layshaft is worn?
A worn R380 layshaft typically produces gear whine or rumble present across several gears, since the layshaft stays in mesh throughout the range. Chipped or pitted teeth can cause noise and, in severe cases, difficulty selecting gears.
Is the layshaft replaced on its own?
The layshaft is typically replaced during a full R380 gearbox rebuild rather than on its own. Because it meshes with the mainshaft gears, those gears and the bearings are usually inspected and often renewed at the same time while the box is apart.
