Spigot bearing problem.................................r8

[donk r8]

Well, the r8 is at Marks (rapid) at the moment having a few mods, one of them being an ls7 clutch. There has been a problem with gear selection etc from new but the stealer which supplied it would have none of it.......well I lived with it and after driving a few others at the VXR evening at Brands I knew it wasn't right. To cut a long story short the spigot bearing has eaten itself, nothing left but the outside ring..........no wonder it was vibrating and selection was a bit hit and miss!!! Now to find a bearing!!.........

Thats mean

If the car is still under warranty, make sure they are told about this. As without the spigot bearing, the input shaft and bearings on the gearbox could have suffered damage. As could the friction plate of the clutch.
