Ever wondered how your car’s clutch works? So, what's an important component of it like - the release bearing. The release bearing (a k a throw-out bearing) is essential for that smooth clutch action.
It allows the pressure plate to move away from the flywheel when you step on your car's clutch pedal. This leaves a gap for the engine and the transmission so there doesn’t need to be a problem when you switch gears. Once you release the clutch pedal, the release bearing assists in pressing the pressure plate back to the flywheel. This results in power being transmitted from the engine to the wheels.
Like any other part in your car, the release bearing requires maintenance to function properly. Regular maintenance checks and lubrication can help it last longer and prevent the incursion of issues like grinding noises or difficulty changing gears. If you neglect it, the release bearing can wear and fail, making it an expensive repair.
But some signs that you might need to change the bearing also are discussed here if you see any of these signs you need to change your release bearing:
Selecting the Correct Release Bearing for Your Vehicle When selecting a release bearing for your vehicle, it is crucial to select the right one for your clutch kit. Consider the kind of clutch (mechanical or hydraulic), the size of the release bearing, and whether it is compatible with the make and model of your car. Speaking with a professional mechanic, or looking in your car’s manual, will help you take a look at what size bearing you’ll need to install.
