Baulk Ring for the R380 5-speed manual gearbox synchromesh assembly.

The baulk ring (also known as the synchromesh ring) is the friction cone element within each synchro hub assembly. During a gear change, the baulk ring contacts the synchro cone on the gear, matching shaft and gear speeds before the dog teeth can engage. A worn or damaged baulk ring results in crunching, difficulty selecting gears, or gear clash. Sold individually.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC3584 baulk ring used for?
The FTC3584 baulk ring is the synchromesh friction cone inside the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. During a shift it matches the speeds of the mainshaft and the selected gear so the dog teeth engage cleanly. It's fitted to Defender, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and Range Rover Classic models.
How many baulk rings are needed for an R380 rebuild?
An R380 gearbox typically uses several baulk rings, usually one per synchronised gear. The FTC3584 is sold individually, so you'll usually order multiple when refreshing the whole synchromesh. Many builders replace all the baulk rings together during a rebuild rather than just the worn one.
What are the signs an R380 baulk ring needs replacing?
A worn R380 baulk ring typically shows as crunching or gear clash when selecting a gear, often worse when the gearbox is cold. You may also feel the lever baulk before the gear engages. Left unaddressed, worn synchromesh leads to harder shifting and further wear on the gear dog teeth.
How do I confirm the FTC3584 fits my vehicle?
The FTC3584 fits the R380 5-speed gearbox in the Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994, from VIN JA610294). Confirm your gearbox is an R380 and not the earlier LT77, since the baulk rings differ between the two.
