Frequently asked questions

What is the Clutch Release Bush (549911) used for?

The Clutch Release Bush, also called the spigot bush, seats in the spigot recess at the centre of the crankshaft. It supports the nose of the gearbox input shaft, holding it concentric with the crankshaft as the clutch engages and disengages on V8 applications.

Which V8 engines does this spigot bush fit?

This spigot bush fits 3.5, 3.9, 4.0 and 4.6 V8 petrol engines. It's used on the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38, plus the Series 3 Stage 1 V8.

Should the spigot bush be replaced during a clutch job?

Typically yes. The bush sits behind the clutch at the rear of the crankshaft, so it's usually renewed while the gearbox is already out for a clutch change. Replacing it then avoids a second strip-down later.

What are the signs of a worn spigot bush?

A worn spigot bush typically causes a rattle from the gearbox input shaft or difficulty selecting gears, because the shaft nose is no longer held concentric with the crankshaft. Renewing it restores proper support to the input shaft.
