Land Rover Part Number: FRC5428 - Mainshaft Gear - 26 Teeth - LT230 Transfer Box
FRC5428 is a Mainshaft Gear - 26 Teeth for the LT230 transfer box. Fitted to the LT230 transfer box mainshaft on vehicles using the LT77 5-speed manual gearbox, this gear transmits rotational drive within the LT230 by meshing with companion gears to deliver torque to the output shafts. The 26-tooth specification defines the gear pitch and engagement profile used on the LT230 mainshaft, so correct tooth count and form are required for accurate gear mesh and to avoid noise and abnormal wear. When the LT230 transfer box or related mainshaft assemblies are serviced or overhauled, replacing the mainshaft gear with the correct 26-tooth item prevents mismatched ratios and premature wear.
