    Hi There,
    Took the gearbox out and found the spigot bearing had disintegrated, the rollers had fallen out of the bearing and were rolling around inside the clutch mechanism, from what I can see the bearing rollers were jamming on the outer diameter of the clutch plate and the flywheel. Springs were all loose and two of the small one in the centre had collapsed but hadn't fallen out. All the springs were still in place.

    The two bolts coming from the engine side behind the exhaust and the block were a right royal PITA. LOF Clutches in the UK have been brilliant, I missed so parts of my list and they had the parts to me inside three days, great service. Anyway on with the rebuild now, one added bonus I found an Ashcroft output shaft upgrade kit had been fitted, all credit to the previous owner there.

    Cheers Marty

    I have found 2 out of 3 had damaged the input shaft.
    I made a spigot bush out of oil impregnated bronze.

    Hi Mark,
    Yeap I was in that place as well and had I not had the Deefer in bits and had known that the spigot bearing was rooted prior to taking the Deefer apart I would have made a bush out of Vespel CR-6100 which is a composite material with an element of carbon in it. It's used a lot at work very successfully in sort of similar but more arduous conditions. I could have had it made at work as well, had I had the time that's the way I would have gone most definitely.

    Thank you for taking the time out to comment.

    Cheers Marty.

    I would suggest you make a new thread along the lines of "thinking of buying a 2012 Defender classic" rather than adding to an old thread from back in 2019

    You will get far more responses
