Clutch/gearbox Bearing Noise

[MrStabby]

Hi All,

Car is a R32 GTR. The clutch is reportedly a twin plate OS giken. Its very grabby, has a very frim pedal and feels like it must have a solid center (ie no springs to absorb the shock, so its pummels the box and diff when it grabs). The car is near stock and makes 243 rwkw when the boost is wound up. IMO the clutch is OTT for this setup so i am looking at a more traffic freindly single plate.

There is some slightly crunchy bearing noise when the clutch finally fully grabs, or if you give it some throttle very low in the rev range while the clutch is engaged. What bearing is this likely to be? Obviously i'll replace the release bearing with the new pressure plate, but what else? IIRC there's a bearing in the rear of the crank that the shaft from the gearbox rests in (is that the spigot?) so i'll replace that while its all apart. Are there any other bearings (in the gearbox?) that may need attention or i should do while its all apart?

Cheers,

Kot
