Spigot Bearing & Freewheel Clutches

Spigot bearing clutches are found in cars with manual transmissions. The spigot bearing sits in the centre of the flywheel or crankshaft flange within the gearbox. When you press your clutch pedal, the spigot bearing absorbs the vibrations that occur as the crankshaft and input shaft rotate at different speeds. Symptoms of a worn spigot bearing include loud crunching or whining noises coming from the gearbox. This is the sound of excessive friction that will in due course lead your gearbox to a state of disrepair. A faulty bearing may also make it very hard to press down on the clutch pedal.
