When rebuilding your R380 Suffix J gearbox, replacing the centre plate layshaft bearing is essential to maintain smooth and reliable performance. Over time, wear can lead to excessive play, causing gear misalignment, vibration, and premature wear on other transmission components. Timken’s high-quality bearing ensures a precise fit, reducing friction and enhancing durability under heavy loads. Upgrading to a new bearing helps restore optimal gear function, preventing potential failures and extending the lifespan of your gearbox.
