This machined thrust washer is fitted to the intermediate gear assembly within the transfer box, controlling axial end float and preventing longitudinal movement of the gear under load. It is specified for non-V8 Series 3 applications, where the intermediate gear arrangement differs from the 3.5 V8 configuration. Worn or damaged thrust washers allow excessive end play, leading to gear noise, accelerated wear, and potential transfer box failure. Key Features Machined construction for precise thickness tolerance and controlled end float Designed specifically for the non-V8 intermediate gear assembly - not interchangeable with the V8 variant Meets original Land Rover specification for Series 3 transfer box applications When replacing, inspect the intermediate gear bearing and shaft for wear, as these components wear in conjunction with the thrust washer Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Series 3 models equipped with petrol and diesel engines, excluding the 3.5 V8 petrol variant, where a different intermediate gear thrust washer configuration applies.
