Sorensin Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey just pulled a (manual)gearbox off the back of a 280zx engine, it appears there was no spigot bearing there? should there be one? Repco doesn't have a listing and my engine didn't have one, starting to wonder if there should be one? Assuming some of you experts out there will just know? Also if there is do any of you pros no a part number? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 There should be a little bushing in there, yeah. It might have worn down/flogged out over the years, or the box has been off before and no-one put one back in. I think I have a part number somewhere. One moment caller.

RUNAMUCK Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's a standard off the shelf bush which fits a number of nissans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorensin Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ok so next n00b question I have purchased a new rear main seal from repco, looks ery similar or the broken up original one that's been removed, same outer diameter and very similar thickness. Problem is I don't have a proper measurement of the inner diameter as the original one came apart on the inside while being removed and I can't get the new one over the end of the crankshaft. So my problem is it appears I have the right seal but I can't get it over the end of the crank, should this be difficult to do or do I have the wrong seal? cheers! / I fail at mechanics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Measurements are usually written on the seal, from memory they are 100mm OD 80mm ID. You might be getting the inner lip stuck? A little bit of engine oil on the inside of the seal and it should slide on reasonably easily. Repco have never kept the bushes btw, they can get them but don't keep them on the shelf. They usually don't wear much unless something else is wrong so most people are only buying them when doing an auto to manual swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
