Land Rover Part Number: FTC3675 - Linkage Rod Assembly
FTC3675 is a Linkage Rod Assembly that links the gear selector/linkage to the LT230 transfer box and associated linkage pivots on Defender models (1987-2006). It transfers selector motion into the transfer box or gearbox pivot, providing the mechanical connection required for selecting drive ranges. The assembly comprises the rod body and the connection points that attach to selector arms and pivots, so correct length and pivot position are important to maintain accurate gear-range engagement and to minimise unwanted play. It is fitted to Defender models equipped with the LT230 transfer box and to some configurations associated with LT77S transmission linkage pivots; inspect the connection ends for wear and the rod for bending or corrosion and replace when joints show excessive movement or the rod is damaged.
