Shorter....... hence the need for the crankshaft one

thanks dattoman_1000, does the original in the crank need to be removed, or is the input shaft shorter?

Dellow supplies a spigot bush that goes in the flywheel for the T50 conversion
Make sure you use it or you will have problems with the box jumping out of gears...... until finally something breaks

I don't use their bush though
I use a roller bearing instead

lol, nah mate.


another question: my celica box/a14 came with the spigot bush in the flywheel... normal?

It should be a light tap-in fit. Otherwise it would spin itself inside the crank. It should be tight in the crank and free on the gearbox inpout shaft.

i got a thrust bearing in my clutch kit, is this a spigot bush

Just curious, but when you install the new one, do you oil it like you described then just tap it in with a rubber hammer, or does it just push in?

Thanks for all the advice!

Hey bro, if it is a bronze bush, be sure to lube it 1st!
hold the bush on your thumb, fill it with motor oil to the top, then with your other thumb, press together until the oil comes out thru the sides, Nissan also sells a roller bearing for the input shaft bush, not a whole lot of money.

Thanks PhunkDr. I am pulling the motor out to replace the clutch and to put new gaskets since it leaks oil like mad. From the description in the thread above, mine could be bad, and a new one is included in the clutch kit I ordered.

I have a spare A12 and I filled up the bush with grease, and found a bolt that fit somewhat in the bush. It came right out first tap. I hope the one on my other motor comes out as simply as this one did.

You only need to replace it if it is broken/damage/falling apart/worn out. I would remove the flywheel to make the job easy.
A hammer and punch is all thats needed to break it up to remove it. I cant see any reason why you would remove a good bush.
