Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC7171 overdrive needle bearing do?
The RTC7171 needle bearing supports the overdrive clutch sleeve on the front of the mainshaft in a Fairey overdrive unit. It lets the sleeve slide and rotate freely as the overdrive engages and disengages. It sits at the front of the mainshaft inside the overdrive.
Does this bearing fit a TORO overdrive?
No, this needle bearing is specific to the Fairey-pattern overdrive and isn't interchangeable with the TORO overdrive. It also doesn't suit the Range Rover or 101 LT95 gearbox. Confirm you have a Fairey overdrive before ordering, as the internals differ between makes.
Which Land Rovers use this overdrive bearing?
This bearing fits the Fairey overdrive as used on all Land Rover Series models. The Fairey overdrive bolts to the rear of the gearbox to give an extra higher ratio. It's the front mainshaft clutch-sleeve bearing, so confirm the failed bearing's position before ordering.
What are the signs this overdrive bearing has failed?
A failed overdrive needle bearing typically shows up as whine, rumble or roughness when the overdrive is engaged, and sometimes trouble engaging or holding overdrive. Worn rollers can shed metal into the unit, so it's usually replaced as soon as the noise appears to protect the rest of the overdrive.
