Constructed from high-quality bearing materials and engineered to withstand continuous rotational forces, vibration and temperature fluctuations, the spigot bearing reduces friction between the engine and transmission assemblies. Proper operation of this component is essential for smooth gear changes and long-term drivetrain reliability.
What This Product Does:
- Supports and centres the gearbox input shaft.
- Maintains correct alignment between the engine and transmission.
- Reduces friction between rotating drivetrain components.
- Allows smooth rotation of the transmission input shaft.
- Helps ensure smooth clutch engagement and disengagement.
- Minimises wear on gearbox and clutch components.
- Contributes to reliable drivetrain operation and longevity.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Squealing, whining or grinding noises from the bellhousing area.
- Noise that changes when the clutch pedal is operated.
- Difficulty engaging gears, particularly first or reverse.
- Transmission input shaft vibration.
- Clutch drag or incomplete clutch disengagement.
- Rough or inconsistent gear changes.
- Excessive wear on the clutch disc or gearbox input shaft.
- Increased drivetrain vibration.
- Premature wear of associated transmission components.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The flywheel spigot bearing operates continuously whenever the engine is running and plays a vital role in maintaining proper alignment between the engine and gearbox. Over time, bearing surfaces can wear, lubrication can deteriorate and contamination may affect bearing performance, leading to increased friction and misalignment.
- A worn spigot bearing can cause difficult gear selection, clutch disengagement issues and accelerated wear of the gearbox input shaft and clutch components. If left unresolved, bearing failure may lead to costly transmission repairs and reduced drivetrain reliability.
- Replacing a worn flywheel spigot bearing restores proper gearbox alignment, improves clutch and transmission operation and helps protect surrounding drivetrain components from premature wear. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, precision manufacturing and dependable long-term durability, ensuring smooth performance and reliable operation for your Porsche.

Although compact, the spigot bearing is a critical drivetrain component. Replacing it during clutch servicing helps maintain precise transmission alignment, reduces gearbox wear and ensures reliable long-term operation.
What Does the Flywheel Spigot Bearing Do?
Also known as a pilot bearing, the flywheel spigot bearing supports the tip of the gearbox input shaft while allowing it to rotate independently of the engine when the clutch is disengaged.
Its primary functions include:
- Supporting the gearbox input shaft.
- Maintaining precise alignment between the engine and transmission.
- Reducing friction during clutch operation.
- Allowing smooth clutch disengagement.
- Minimising wear on the gearbox input shaft.
- Helping provide smooth gear changes and consistent clutch operation.
A properly functioning spigot bearing is essential for the smooth operation of the clutch and transmission.
Why Do Flywheel Spigot Bearings Fail?
The bearing is subjected to continuous rotational loads,
clutch operation and heat throughout its service life. Common causes of failure
include:
- Normal bearing wear after high mileage.
- Loss or deterioration of lubrication.
- Dirt or clutch dust contamination.
- Corrosion caused by moisture.
- Excessive heat generated by clutch slip.
- Wear caused by misalignment or heavy clutch use.
As the bearing wears, it may develop excessive play or roughness, placing additional stress on the clutch and gearbox.
When Should the Flywheel Spigot Bearing Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever:
- A new clutch kit is installed.
- The gearbox is removed.
- A flywheel is replaced.
- The bearing feels rough or noisy.
- Excessive play is detected.
- During engine or transmission rebuilds.
Because the bearing is inexpensive compared to the labour required to access it, Porsche specialists strongly recommend replacing it during every clutch replacement.

The rear main oil seal fits at the rear of the crankshaft where it passes through the engine case. It helps retain engine oil inside the crankcase and prevents oil from leaking into the flywheel, clutch, or transmission bellhousing area.
Functions
• Replaces the rear crankshaft oil seal
• Helps seal the rear of the engine crankshaft
• Helps prevent engine oil leaks from the bellhousing area
• Protects the clutch and flywheel area from oil contamination
• Supports correct crankcase oil retention
• Replaces hardened, worn, split, leaking, or damaged original seals
• OE Match replacement for Porsche 911 and 930 engine service.
Why Replace This Part?
Rear main oil seals are exposed to heat, crankshaft rotation, oil, pressure changes, and age-related wear. Over time, the seal can harden, shrink, crack, wear, or lose sealing ability. A failed rear main seal may cause oil leaks between the engine and gearbox, oil contamination on the clutch, burning oil smells, or visible oil dripping from the bellhousing area. Replacing the seal helps restore a clean, reliable crankshaft seal.
When to Replace This Part
• Oil is leaking from between the engine and gearbox
• Oil drips are visible from the bellhousing area
• The clutch or flywheel is contaminated with oil
• The engine or gearbox has been removed
• The flywheel is being removed or replaced
• The original seal is hardened, worn, split, or leaking
• Preventative replacement is being carried out during clutch or engine service.
Where it fits on the car
This oil seal fits at the rear crankshaft position on Porsche 911 and 930 engines. It sits between the crankshaft and engine case, behind the flywheel area.
