This little guy’s job is to smoothly connect and disconnect the engine from the transmission when you press the clutch pedal. It pushes on the pressure plate to disengage the clutch disc, allowing you to shift gears. Basically, it takes the force from your foot and transfers it to do that job. It spins when the clutch is not engaged and then it’s pushing when you are pressing the pedal. It’s part of your clutch system, which is a pretty vital part of how your car drives. It sits right behind the pressure plate and is constantly spinning when you’re driving with the clutch disengaged. It's not something you directly see, it’s buried inside the transmission bellhousing. Well, if this bearing fails, you’ll definitely know it. You’ll likely hear a squealing or rattling noise when the clutch pedal is pressed, or even when it’s not. Sometimes it sounds like a constant grinding. It can also make shifting gears really difficult or impossible. If it completely fails, you could lose the ability to disengage the clutch, meaning you won't be able to shift and the car won’t move properly. It acts like a shield protecting the other components of your clutch. If it goes bad, it can damage the pressure plate and clutch disc, leading to a much more expensive repair. You'll notice if it starts going because the noise is pretty distinctive. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, replacing it while you're already doing a clutch job is just good preventative maintenance.
