Clutch Release Bearing

A clutch release bearing also known as a throw-out bearing is an essential part of a manual transmission’s clutch system. It enables the smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch by allowing the clutch pedal’s force to be transferred to the clutch pressure plate. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the release bearing pushes against the pressure plate, disengaging the clutch and allowing you to shift gears.

Clutch Release Bearing Failure Symptoms
  • Clutch Slippage: In severe cases, a failing release bearing can contribute to clutch slippage, where the clutch does not fully engage, causing a loss of power transmission and difficulty accelerating
  • Difficulty Shifting Gears: If the bearing is worn, it may not fully disengage the clutch, making it harder to shift gears smoothly and increasing the likelihood of grinding between gears
  • Noises When Depressing the Clutch Pedal: A failing release bearing often produces squealing, chirping, or grinding noises when the clutch pedal is pressed. These sounds may reduce or disappear when the pedal is released

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.
