Transmission Handbrake Shoe Set is the friction pair for the drum-type parking brake mounted on the rear output of the transfer box.

When the handbrake lever is applied, the rod-operated mechanism expands these shoes against the brake drum to lock the transmission output and hold the vehicle stationary. Renewing both shoes together maintains even, balanced holding force.

Supplied as a matched set of shoes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the transmission handbrake shoe set for?
This transmission handbrake shoe set is the friction pair for the drum-type parking brake on the rear output of the transfer box. When the handbrake is applied, the rod-operated mechanism pushes these shoes against the drum to hold the vehicle. It fits Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
What are the signs the transmission brake shoes need replacing?
Signs the transmission brake shoes need replacing are a handbrake that won't hold on a slope, needing more lever travel, or a scraping noise from the transfer box drum. Renew both shoes together so the holding force stays even across the drum.
How do I check these handbrake shoes fit my vehicle?
These shoes fit the rod-operated transmission brake on Defender 1983-2006, Discovery 1 up to chassis WA799999 (around 1992), and Range Rover Classic up to gearbox 36D22144A. Later revised drum setups differ, so check your VIN and drum type before ordering.
Do the handbrake shoes need adjusting after fitting?
Yes, transmission brake shoes typically need adjusting after fitting so they sit close to the drum without binding. The adjuster is reached from behind the drum. Set the shoes until there's light drag, then back off slightly so the drum turns freely with the handbrake released.
