A spigot bearing clutch sits in the centre of the gearbox flywheel or crankshaft flange. The bearing type can be a ball, roller or needle, packed in grease. The gearbox input shaft and the engine’s crankshaft rotate at different speeds when you engage your clutch pedal. The input shaft therefore needs support to cope with this difference. The spigot bearing clutch is in place to provide this. A worn or faulty spigot bearing clutch will result in very loud whining or grinding noises, and will eventually damage the gearbox. Many drivers will be familiar with this type of noise, and will want to avoid it as a result. To find the perfect high quality replacements, look no further than Euro Car Parts.
