020141741B Volkswagen push rod

These little guys connect the release fork in your clutch setup to the throw – out bearing. Basically, they transfer the force when you push the clutch pedal. They physically push on that throw – out bearing so it can disengage the engine from the transmission, letting you shift gears. Some vehicles have one, some have multiple. They’re pretty simple parts, really. Think of it like this—when you hit the clutch, it’s the first step in a chain reaction that disconnects the engine’s power. The pedal moves a linkage, that linkage pushes on the push rod, and then the push rod does its job. Without a working push rod, you're not going to be able to properly disengage the engine and get into gear. It’s a core component of how the clutch system functions. A worn or bent push rod can cause a lot of headaches. You might have trouble getting into gear, or the clutch might slip. You’ll notice if it's really bad, usually a grinding noise when you try to shift, or the clutch pedal might feel soft or spongy. It doesn’t take a genius to diagnose sometimes. They’re generally inexpensive to replace, and doing it before it causes more damage is always the smart move. You can find them easily enough; a good place to start looking is Fixparts Online, they usually have a good selection. It’s a small part but it has a big job!
