Land Rover Part Number: KVB500060 - Gearbox Crossmember - Chassis Frame
KVB500060 is a gearbox crossmember - chassis frame. Fitted to Defender chassis, this crossmember mounts and secures the gearbox to the vehicle chassis, locating it fore-aft and controlling lateral movement while transferring gearbox loads into the chassis rails. Correct alignment keeps the gearbox input and output shafts positioned relative to the driveline, which reduces vibration and limits premature wear on universal joints and bearings and contributes to consistent gear engagement. Replacement or repair is normally required if the mounting points are bent, corroded or damaged after an impact, since a compromised crossmember can allow excessive transmission movement and alter driveline geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
The gearbox crossmember secures the gearbox to the chassis and transfers gearbox loads into the chassis rails, locating the gearbox fore-aft and controlling lateral movement. It resists torque reaction during acceleration and gear changes and helps maintain alignment of the gearbox input and output shafts relative to the driveline to reduce vibration and limit premature wear on universal joints and bearings. Replacement is normally required if mounting points are bent, corroded or damaged after an impact, as a compromised crossmember can allow excessive transmission movement and alter driveline geometry.
