LuK Clutch Pilot / Spigot Bearing – MX-5 MK3 / NC & MK4 / ND • F410000910

LuK Clutch Pilot / Spigot Bearing – F410000910

Replacement LuK clutch pilot / spigot bearing for Mazda MX-5 MK3 / NC 1.8L and 2.0L and MK4 / ND 1.5L and 2.0L manual-transmission models, including compatible NC1, NC2, NC3, ND1 and ND2 applications. Also suitable for a range of other Mazda manual-transmission vehicles using the corresponding pilot-bearing specification.

The LuK pilot bearing is installed at the rear of the engine crankshaft, where it supports and centres the manual gearbox input shaft. It allows the crankshaft and input shaft to rotate at different speeds when the clutch is disengaged, helping maintain accurate alignment and smooth transmission operation.

A worn or damaged pilot bearing can contribute to noise when operating the clutch, input shaft vibration, difficult gear engagement or accelerated wear of related transmission components. Because similar symptoms can arise from clutch, gearbox or release-bearing faults, the source of the problem should be correctly diagnosed before replacement.

This LuK replacement bearing is supplied pre-greased and ready for installation. It is particularly useful during clutch replacement, flywheel servicing or gearbox removal, when the existing pilot bearing is accessible and can be inspected or replaced as part of the repair.

Common replacement reasons: Pilot bearings may require replacement following wear, loss of smooth bearing operation, contamination or damage. Replacement is also worth considering whenever the gearbox and clutch assembly have already been removed, particularly during higher-mileage clutch servicing or an engine and transmission rebuild.

Fitment advice: Intended for vehicles with the compatible manual-transmission pilot-bearing arrangement. The bearing fits within the crankshaft support location and should be matched to the original application. It is not a clutch release / throw-out bearing and does not serve the same purpose. Check the vehicle compatibility information for supported MX-5 generations.

Other items to consider: When replacing a clutch pilot bearing, you may also want to consider purchasing a complete clutch kit, clutch release bearing, flywheel bolts, clutch hydraulic components and suitable gearbox oil. MazSpec supplies a range of related clutch and transmission components for Mazda MX-5 models.

Useful tools / consumables: Socket set, calibrated torque wrench, gearbox support or transmission jack, clutch alignment tool, suitable pilot-bearing puller, bearing fitting tool and workshop cleaning materials.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Advanced. Replacing the pilot bearing normally requires removal of the manual gearbox and access to the clutch and flywheel area. Appropriate lifting and transmission support equipment is essential.

Installation / service notes: Remove the gearbox and associated clutch components as required to access the bearing. Carefully extract the existing pilot bearing using the correct puller or extraction procedure, avoiding damage to the crankshaft bore. Clean and inspect the seating area and gearbox input shaft. Install the new bearing squarely using a suitable tool that contacts the correct bearing race. Do not damage the bearing seals or apply excessive installation force. Reassemble the clutch and transmission in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's alignment and torque specifications, then confirm correct clutch operation and gear engagement.
