Clutch Release Bearing
The release bearing presses on the clutch pressure plate springs when the pedal is pushed.
What is Clutch Release Bearing?
It rotates with the clutch while the pedal is pressed. It is replaced as part of a clutch kit. Some are combined with the slave cylinder. A noise that disappears when the pedal is released but appears when it is pressed is a classic sign; a noise only with the pedal released points to the gearbox input bearing instead.
How it works
It transfers the push of the fork or slave cylinder to the spinning diaphragm.
Why it matters for your car
A worn release bearing whines or rumbles when the pedal is pressed. Resting the foot on the pedal shortens its life.
