what is a thrust bearing??

[Toddler78]

I'm sure theres a few guys on here that wanna know how!

magic!:surprise:

spigot bearing can not be removed unlsess the gearbox has been separated from the engine, you need to slide it past the input shaft. I have done enough of them to know.

Is this wat we're on about.?? Son all of a sudden couldn't select gears & had a terrible noise at idle from his T5.He took out his gear box to find the spigot bush mounts broken.This, after profix put a heavy duty clutch plate & new thrust bearing in for him...

gearbox does not need to be removed, all you need to do is pull out the motor as this will give access with the gearbox still in place. easy :hmmm:

Sorry mate cant help but all you do is get a small grinder remove anything holding the engine to the car and gearbox, remove all wiring with side cutters, then pull motor from vehicle using rope and another vehicle. Install thrust bearing on the exposed shaft on front of gearbox then reverse the steps, done. should only be a couple hour job and take photos because you could make a sticky how-to when done. cheers.

What if I only have a 9" Grinder? Will this still work?
