GH05T Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So I replaced my ceramic button clutch with a streetable heavy duty organic. In the process I replaced the spiggot but did not replace the input shaft bearing (I think that's right, when I depress the clutch stationary it gets noisy as hell, clutch in quiet) My question is what will happen if this bearing goes unchanged for a while? I won't be able to pull the gear box out gain any time soon. What will the actual effects be? Or will it just be noisy? It's loud but I feel no actual effects.

turboedsloth Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If it is the input shaft bearing, if you keep driving it the bearing will eventually collapse and quite possibly wreck a gear or 2 costing you more in the long run. Did you replace the clutch throwout bearing that sits on the fork?

MrStabby Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sounds like you mean the throw out bearing, which is the one that the clutch pedal pushes onto the pressure plate. Here's mine; The clutch kits i've seen all come with one. Just change it. Eventually it will fall to pieces and you wont be able to release the clutch.

GH05T Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Which one comes with an exceedy clutch kit? Spigot? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397688-will-the-bearing-do-damage/#findComment-6314644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hang on OP, you said the noise is there when you depress the clutch and it disappears when the clutch is in...these are one and the same, so which is it? Foot on the pedal pushing it in...is the sound there? Foot off the pedal...is the sound there?

MrStabby Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Which one comes with an exceedy clutch kit? Spigot? Nope, the throw out will always come in a clutch kit. Throw out should always be replaced when you do the clutch, spigot is often ok. If the throw out is dead it will squeal when you push the clutch pedal. Spigot is the bronze copper ring in the center at end of the crank; Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397688-will-the-bearing-do-damage/#findComment-6315507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"depress" means you are no longer pressing in, and when the clutch is in, as in you "press" the clutch in, it goes away, make sense?

Birds Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 http://www.thefreedictionary.com/depress Was the noise there before you installed the new clutch? What kind of noise is it, a whine/grind/squeal/rattle? Which bearing did you replace, spigot or throw out (see MrStabby's pics).

turboedsloth Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nice shoes And that sounds pretty bad. Have you changed the oil lately? If so noticed anything on the drain plug?

KiwiRS4T Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 no. "depress" means you are no longer pressing in, and when the clutch is in, as in you "press" the clutch in, it goes away, make sense? To depress the clutch pedal means to push it down. You can't just make up your own definitions - you'll just confuse people.

GH05T Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 So to press my clutch means to let it out ? Does anyone have an answer to which beating that is instead of more insights to a specific word? I even put a video showing the clutch position can we move on? I wouldn't assume oil as the gearbox is not moving but more a bearing inline with the clutch, Is that most likely the thrust bearing?

I'll start off with my usual disclaimer, " I'm no Mechanic but " It is my understanding that when you are sitting still with the car running in neutral with your foot off the clutch ( I'll avoid the press-depress issue ) the input shaft is obviously turning at the same speed as the flywheel and so is other stuff in the box, so I'd take on board what turboedsloth says I'm pretty sure he rebuilds gearboxes does sound a bit raspy to be throw-out bearing,,,, could wrong,, either way its box out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397688-will-the-bearing-do-damage/#findComment-6336816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH05T Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah box will come out, I guess it's good practice to replace both the throw out - input - thrust bearig just do it all for the sake of doing it while were in their. Are any of them specifically difficult Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397688-will-the-bearing-do-damage/#findComment-6337898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboedsloth Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You may have trouble with the input shaft bearing in the gearbox if you don't have the right tools.
