This little guy’s job is to smoothly disconnect the engine’s power from the transmission when you push in the clutch pedal. It basically pushes on the fingers of the pressure plate to disengage it, letting you shift gears. It spins when the clutch is disengaged, but it's not driving the transmission at that point, just free – spinning. It’s part of the clutch assembly, and you’ll find it near the transmission. Think of it as the middleman between your clutch pedal and the actual clutch. When you let the pedal up, the release bearing lets the pressure plate re – engage, sending power back to the wheels. It constantly cycles between engaging and disengaging when you drive. Well, if it fails, you’ll notice it. It usually makes a pretty noticeable squealing or rattling noise when the clutch pedal is pressed. Sometimes it’s constant, sometimes it only happens in certain gears. If it really goes bad, it can make shifting difficult or even impossible, and could even damage other parts of your clutch system. It acts like a shield, protecting the other clutch components from wear and tear. You'll notice if it's failing before it completely quits, so it’s good to address it at the first sign of trouble. We've got a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and replacing it isn't too difficult if you're comfortable doing a bit of work yourself. Why settle for less? Release Bearing (MPN 8V7862191B) comes with a 12-month warranty!
