Thanks very much! Thought it was release bearing but the noise is so bloody loud it made us think it could be something to do with the gearbox!what and where is the spigot bush? Is it expensive to buy?difficult to fit? Planning on doin clutch tomorrow, don't want to have to try move that gearbox more than once! Cheers!!!

Ok thanks. Do I need a special tool to remove the bush? What's the best method? Cheers

I Hope the clutch change went ok, if you don't mind me asking was it a lot of drama cos I may need to change a spigot bush soon.

I assume you know that to replace the spigot bush you need to separate the gearbox from the engine?

To replace the spigot bush, first find a cylinder shaped object such as a bar or bolt that fits snugly into the bush; now pack the empty spigot bush with grease and use your cylinder/bolt and continually tap it into the bush until the grease drives the bush out.

Whilst the gearbox and engine are separated I would strongly advise putting in a new clutch kit complete, as the biggest part of the job is labour and a clutch kit is only about £80 to £100.

Thanks Dave, yes I know the box has to come off, thanks for the tip about removing the bush.
