Title: Spigot bearing
Post by: TurboFource on Friday,March 18, 2022, 02:42:57 PM

It looks like the spigot bearing in the flywheel is just a thin bushing (oilite I presume?),
does this hold up fine?

TC engine uses a bronze bushing.  The Renault, a ball-bearing.  Either way, it only turns when the clutch pedal is depressed and the clutch disc is disengaged.  Good reason not to sit at a light in gear.
