what this 'thing' by the clutch

[Matteh]

sorry for the rubbish title

was browsing dialogys and I noticed this thing on the clutch page

#7... FAUX RLT 40-17 £0.73


not seen one before and I dont think i've got one... what is it and is my clutch about to blow up cause i've not got one? :dead:

It looks to me just like the spigot bearing, it goes into the end of the crank so you probably wont be able to see it.

Spigot bearing.

Surely that's not a bearing ? More likely to be a spigot bush.

Item #3 is a bearing.

Its a bearing - not the clutch release bearing which is item 3, but a spigot bearing that sits inside the crankshaft and the gearbox shaft then sits in.

same thing, different name. Depends who you're talking to at the time

 

[zimsoundz]

Fair enough.

FYI that part isn't fitted as standard, but it comes in all clutch kits. Makes clutch allignment massively easier

Out of interest, what would be the side effects of a misaligned clutch? Ive got a hunch this is what im suffering since having my clutch replaced.

Car juddering at biting point?

 

[sideways danny]

if it's misaligned the gearbox wont go on. juddering at bite point is often flywheel related, ie the surface wasn't prepped

Damn sounds more expensive than something being misaligned... guess i will put up with it alittle longer lol.

Thanks for the tip!
