101 Forward Control Gearbox 4 Speed V8 LT95

The 4‑speed LT95 (V8) gearbox is the standard transmission paired with the V8 engine in the Land Rover 101 Forward Control, offering a blend of strength, simplicity, and proven performance. Built with a cast‑iron casing and heavy-duty internal components, the LT95 is engineered to absorb the rigours of military and recreational off‑road duties while delivering precise gear changes and long service life.
Inside, durable synchromesh units on 2nd to 4th gear ensure smooth and responsive shifting, while a helical gear drive within the transfer case guarantees positive engagement and minimal noise. The gearbox is complemented by robust input and output shafts and sealed bearings designed to withstand torque surges, heavy loads, and rugged environments.
Proper maintenance—including regular fluid changes, gasket and seal replacements, and linkage adjustments—is essential for preserving gearbox longevity and shift quality. The availability of original-spec rebuild kits, synchro rings, gaskets, and bearings ensures that both restorers and field operators can perform precise overhauls or repairs.
Ideal for restoration projects and working 101 FCs alike, this gearbox category ensures authentic, reliable drivability. It delivers the strength, control, and confidence its military heritage demands, keeping your vehicle shifting smoothly mile after mile.
