Land Rover Part Number: FRC9761 - Layshaft LT77 5-Speed Suffix F
FRC9761 is a layshaft for the LT77 5-speed manual gearbox, suffix F. Fitted to LT77 gearboxes used in Defender models, the layshaft sits between the input shaft and the gear cluster, carrying the intermediate gears and transmitting torque through the selected gearset to the output assembly. Correct specification to the LT77 suffix F geometry is important for gear alignment and smooth meshing. Installation requires correct bearing and spacer placement inside the gearbox casing to maintain end float and radial clearance; these installation details form part of the gearbox rebuild procedure and vary with build suffix and service condition.
