Collection: Clutch release bearings

Clutch release bearings – selecting the correct automotive part

This category includes clutch release bearings that transfer force from the release mechanism to the pressure plate assembly. Variants differ in design, dimensions and application. Verify compatibility with the exact vehicle version rather than make and model alone.

How to choose a clutch release bearing

Key factors are OE number, clutch type, diameter, height and interaction with the guide sleeve. Compare the parts manufacturer's catalogue, OE references and vehicle documentation. Different versions can be fitted to the same model.

What may indicate a fault?

Noise when pressing the clutch pedal or difficulty disengaging the clutch requires diagnosis. These symptoms do not conclusively identify a failed release bearing. Inspect associated parts before replacing it.

What should you consider during fitting?

Follow service procedures, specified tightening torques and vehicle manufacturer instructions. If replacement affects operation or safety, carry out the necessary checks after repair. See also clutch slave cylinders and compare part numbers before buying.
