LuK 514002210 Release Set

Description

The LuK 514002210 Release Set is a critical component of the clutch system, responsible for smoothly disengaging the engine from the transmission. This set is used in a variety of vehicles requiring a reliable clutch release mechanism. The design ensures consistent performance and extended service life. It measures 135 x 135 x 285 mm and is manufactured in Brazil.

Key Features & Benefits

This set includes the release bearing – sometimes called a throw – out bearing – the release fork, and often a pilot bushing or bearing too. The bearing pushes on the fork, and that fork actually moves the clutch pressure plate to disengage the engine from the transmission when you press the clutch pedal. The pilot bushing or bearing keeps everything aligned and stable. Think of it as the muscle that disconnects the engine’s power from the wheels when you want to shift gears or come to a stop. It’s a key part of the drivetrain, right between the engine and transmission. When you push down on the clutch pedal, this whole set works together to temporarily separate the engine’s spinning from the wheels, allowing you to change gears smoothly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, this stuff takes a beating. Every time you press the clutch, that bearing is spinning and pressing. Over time, the bearing can wear out, get noisy, or even fail completely. If it does, you'll notice if you have trouble getting into gear, hear a squealing or rattling sound when the clutch pedal is pressed, or experience a shudder when starting in gear. Ignoring it can lead to bigger problems with the clutch, transmission, or even leave you stranded. It’s a relatively inexpensive fix compared to rebuilding the whole clutch or transmission. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these sets if you’re looking to compare options and prices. It’s really best to replace the whole set when you’re in there, since everything works together and has similar wear. Product information is provided for reference only.
