Land Rover Part Number: FTC1760 - 1st Driven Mainshaft Gear - 5 Speed Manual Transmission
FTC1760 is a 1st Driven Mainshaft Gear for a 5-speed manual transmission. Fitted to the transmission mainshaft, the driven first gear meshes with the layshaft gear to provide the high-torque, low-speed ratio used for vehicle launch and slow-speed crawling. It forms part of the mainshaft gearset (alongside the 2nd and 5th gears) and must match the gearbox specification for gear ratio and shaft interface to function correctly. Replacement is required where teeth show wear, chipping or significant pitting that would impair gear mesh and driveability.
