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.

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?

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.

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?

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;

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?

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).

To depress the clutch pedal means to push it down. You can't just make up your own definitions - you'll just confuse people.

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 :rolleyes: ) 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 :thumbsup:

does sound a bit raspy to be throw-out bearing,,,, could wrong,, either way its box out

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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
