Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC3697 circlip used for?
The FTC3697 is a retaining circlip for the R380 5-speed manual gearbox mainshaft. It sits in the 5th and reverse gear section of the main gear cluster, seating into a machined groove on the shaft to hold the adjacent gear and bearing stack in position along the shaft.
Which gearboxes and models use this circlip?
This circlip is used in the R380 gearbox fitted to the Defender (up to 2006), Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. It locates on the mainshaft to stop the 5th and reverse gear assembly moving along the shaft in use.
Can the circlip be reused or should it be replaced?
It's best to fit a new circlip rather than refit the old one. Circlips typically lose tension once removed, and a clip that no longer sits firmly in its groove can let the gear stack shift, so most rebuilders renew them as standard during any R380 mainshaft strip.
