Layshaft Bearing [RHP RTC1412]

Order RHP RTC1412 layshaft bearing Online. This is the layshaft bearing for the gearbox. RTC1412 is the part number, and RHP is the original bearing manufacturer, which matters because RHP made a lot of the bearings that went into these gearboxes from new. If you’re rebuilding an LT77 or an early R380, this is one of the bearings you’ll be replacing while it’s apart.

Why it gets replaced. The layshaft bearing carries the load from the layshaft inside the gearbox, and it’s one of the first to show wear on a high mileage box. When it goes, you get a whine or a rumble that changes with road speed and goes quiet when you press the clutch, because the shaft stops turning. Sometimes it’s louder in certain gears. If you leave it, the bearing breaks up, the debris goes through the oil and takes the rest of the gearbox with it. That’s how a cheap rebuild turns into an expensive one. If you’re in there anyway, fit new bearings.

A few things to check before you buy:

• Confirm the part number. RTC1412 is the number to match.

• Which gearbox. Confirm it fits your LT77 or R380. Not every bearing suits every variant.

• RHP or aftermarket. RHP is the original make. There are cheaper bearings out there, and some are fine, but for gearbox internals the quality matters more than it does on a wheel bearing.

• Quantity. Some gearboxes use one, some use more than one. Check how many you need before you order.

• Condition. New, old stock, or used. Ask.

One thing worth saying. Gearbox rebuilds are all or nothing. If the box is out and stripped, replace every bearing and every seal you can get to. Putting it back together with one new bearing and the rest worn is a waste of the work, because you’ll be pulling it out again within a year. Bearings are cheap compared to labour and compared to another rebuild.

Also. Clean the casing properly before reassembly, and check the layshaft itself for wear where the bearing sits. A worn shaft will ruin a new bearing quickly. If the shaft is pitted or scored, it needs replacing too.
