Land Rover Part Number: FTC1455 - 5th Gear Synchroniser Assembly - LT77 Mainshaft
FTC1455 is a 5th Gear Synchroniser Assembly for the LT77 mainshaft. Fitted to the LT77 5-speed manual transmission mainshaft, this synchroniser engages 5th gear during gear changes and contains the friction surfaces and sliding sleeve mechanism required to match gear speeds and permit positive engagement without gear clash. It acts as the interface between the selector mechanism and the mainshaft gearset; replacing a worn unit restores correct meshing and shift feel where wear has caused grinding or difficulty selecting 5th gear.
