A high-quality teflon washer (slide pad) 445/10803 by GX-AFTER. This is a key component fitted in the gear shift lever column (mechanism) in a wide range of JCB machines, including 3CX, 4CX, and Loaders. It functions as a washer for the selector centering spring. Made from a low-friction material (Teflon), it reduces resistance and prevents wear on the metal selector components.

The list above is for reference. It is crucial to verify the part number 445/10803 in your machine's parts catalogue.
This washer is part of the gear selector mechanism and works directly with the centering spring (e.g., 814/00233) and the upper selector (e.g., 445/05501). We recommend replacing these items as a set.
A worn, cracked, or missing teflon washer leads to direct metal-on-metal contact (spring and selector). This causes excessive play, making precise gear selection difficult and creating a risk of jamming the lever or being unable to select neutral in an emergency.
The 445/10803 washer is a slide pad located in the gear shift mechanism, usually under the centering spring. Its main job is to provide a smooth working surface for the spring, reduce friction during shifting, and eliminate vertical play in the selector assembly. It protects more expensive metal components from wear.

Because it's a slide pad. Without it, the metal spring would grind directly against the metal selector body, leading to rapid wear of both components, creating play and metal filings in the mechanism.
It's possible. The "slop" is the sum of all worn components: the spring (losing stiffness), the washer (wearing down), and the main selector (wearing out). This is why it is recommended to replace all these components at the same time.
These are interchangeable (alternative) numbers for the same part. 445/05504 is an older part number that was superseded by 445/10803. Both references fit the same machines.
