Synchromesh Plate for the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. The plate forms part of a synchroniser hub assembly within the main gear cluster.

It acts on the synchroniser components during a gearchange, helping match the speeds of the shaft and the selected gear so the sleeve can engage smoothly. Supplied as an individual plate for rebuild or repair of the R380 transmission.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC4171 synchromesh plate?
The FTC4171 is a synchromesh plate for the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. It forms part of a synchroniser hub assembly in the main gear cluster. During a gearchange it acts on the synchro components to help match the speeds of the shaft and the selected gear, so the sleeve engages smoothly.
How many synchromesh plates are needed?
Three synchromesh plates are used per R380 gearbox, so a full set needs a quantity of three FTC4171. They're normally replaced together when refreshing the synchroniser hubs during a gearbox rebuild.
What are the signs of worn synchromesh?
Worn synchromesh typically shows as a crunch or baulk when changing gear, especially into second, as the synchro can no longer match shaft speeds quickly. The plates are renewed as part of a synchro hub overhaul on a tired R380 to restore clean shifts.
Which models use this synchromesh plate?
These plates fit the R380 gearbox in the Defender (up to 2006), Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. They're internal transmission parts, so fitting means the gearbox is already stripped for a rebuild.
