A quick look at what the clutch release/throw-out bearing is, what it does and how it works.
In this particular video we are using a Land Rover gearbox and release bearing, but the principle is the same for all clutch release and throw out bearings.

Any idea about this issue on my 2004 Impreza wagon manual, 156,000 miles? Clutch replaced 20,000 miles ago. Center Differential replaced 200 miles ago. Noise started after center diff replacement, about 100 miles later. Does not make noise in turns (except when coasting). A mild clicking/tapping noise (sounds soft like playing card in bike spoke) is present when coasting in any gear, front main transaxle area (transmission). It varies in frequency and speed, according to the output shaft RPMs, and sometimes it's quieter or not there at all. It's probably a small piece of flat wire from a piece of seal that got away during clutch or center differential replacement. Doesn't seem to affect operations though. Does it about 80% of the time, but is not noticeable 50% of that time. It's quiet enough where talking, dirt roads, road noise, or any stereo masks it. Doesn't make the noise when it's under load...as in forward or reverse gears in play, clutch released. Any ideas, other than debris in case? Thanks!

Got a question maybe u can help me out. I am very new to working on cars so I don’t know much .. 2 weeks ago I changed my slave cylinder my master cylinder braided line and re did the fluids to fix the sticky peddle .. worked amazing the car drove like new to say the least! Until today it was really hot outside and I drove over 60 miles and sticky pedal feel came back .. do u think it’s the throw out bearing ? Or maybe air in the lines ? Fluid boiling up thus creating sticky peddle ? Nice video btw!!

Help my boyfriend only drove my truck once, and popped clutch on my old 3 on tree, and now something is hitting when in 1st. It stops when I push clutch in and doesn't do it in any other gear. I can't move driveline at all so I think u joints good cause that's quiet. Any suggestions.

Question, after I push the clutch pedal in and out like 15 times, the clutch starts to get sticky, and there is a squeaky noise coming from clutch. I've had the slave cylinder replaced, as well as the clutch plate. Would the main clutch bearing be the problem?

@jackfuller2360 7 жыл бұрын

great video I appears in this video that the bearing is not "attached" in any way to the actuating arm or "fork". Therefore, it is not pulled back away from the clutch when the slave cylinder is passive. True? Is it free to slide back and forth from fork to pressure plate when the clutch is not depressed? I have a Ford Kent motor and clutch Jack

Guys my manual transmission car makes a screeching sound when the engine is running on neutral, but when I press the clutch the sound stops. Left it for one day and came back to it to see if the problem persisted, now whenever I rev the engine the sounds come back, but when I stop revving it stops. Could this be related to the release bearings?

@timothycoleman8916 5 ай бұрын

Sounds like the pressure plate is worn. The throw out bearing could be bad. Clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing all come in a kit.

@Maraxion 7 жыл бұрын

Question. If you have a grinding noise on a manual gearbox when in gear under load, but the sound disseapears when the clutch is pressed down(coasting). Is this then the throwout bearing somehow rattling against the fingers? Or is noise like this due to some other bearing on the shaft? It seems the internet is filled with different solutions to this simple questions, if the noise comes when the clutch pedal is down or up :)

Yeah, same thing with both my cars and can't find a straight answer, lol! Did you found the cause for those issues?

@TeflonNapkins 5 жыл бұрын

Durwan sometimes people over think sounds as components are going wrong. Before anything, get the fluid changed with quality transmission fluid with thick viscosity and high slip. You’d be surprised at how smooth and efficient the transmission gets. Only if problems persist AFTER a transmission fluid change is when you know you need to change out transmission parts. Otherwise it is common for the throw out bearing to become worn down and is a relatively straightforward fix. Bearings are usually changed out with every clutch replacement.

Hi, I bought Peugeot 2008 diesel 5 speed gear 9 months ago, and one months after I bought the car I started to hear a crunching stone sound when the clutch is not pressed, car is standing, and when I press the clutch sound is not present. Now after 9 months ago, that sound is louder, I can hear it while driving the car because I'm not pressing the clutch. In Peugeot they told me that it should work like that :) and they don't want to fix it. So should I fix it, what can happen if I continue to drive my car while this bearing is working on this way?

@TriqShxting 5 жыл бұрын

@zordanmarko707 5 жыл бұрын

@@TriqShxting Sorry to hear that, especially because Peugeot is telling me that if they replace it with a new clutch the problem will persisted :). But then I told them that it is not a problem with the clutch, the problem is in bearing, because I have a cousin and a friend which are both mechanics and they are telling me that it's a bearing sound problem and that it should not work like that. But I can't give them to fix that because I will lose my warranty :). So that's another problem, I would like to fix this, Peugeot wants to fix clutch and clutch is not a problem, even they told me that, that is the sound of bearing :). So don't know what to do and sound is unbearable. I mean when I'm driving it is present but not to much loud, I almost cannot hear it, but when I start the car and when I release the clutch and get out :). Anyway if you somehow fix the problem :) be sure to write it here ahahah :)

@TeflonNapkins 5 жыл бұрын

Zordan Marko the throw out bearing is usually replaced along with every clutch replacement. If you are sure it is not replaced, get your friends to do it. If they do it right, there is no way to tell the transmission has been worked on by another party. Don’t worry about “losing the warranty”. If you are pulling the transmission, might as well replace the clutch while you’re at it. If the clutch is smooth and not slipping, I’d say don’t worry about it and replace everything with the next maintenance period. Unless you hear grinding noises it is fine.

@EducationalMechanics 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on what car and what is causing the problem. It may not be the release bearing making the noise. Although, If it is a problem, the bearing isn’t that expensive, but the labour to split the engine/gearbox to get to the bearing could be expensive.
