T4,T5,G2,G3,G4 Clutch Release Bearing

A worn clutch release bearing is one of the most common causes of squealing/whirring noises when you press the clutch pedal. This bearing sits between the clutch fork and the pressure plate diaphragm spring. When you depress the pedal, the fork pushes the release bearing forward so it spins smoothly against the pressure plate fingers, relieving clamping force and allowing clean gear changes.

This replacement bearing restores smooth, quiet clutch operation and helps prevent damage to the pressure plate fingers caused by rough, seized, or noisy bearings. It’s a smart “while you’re in there” part whenever the gearbox is removed for a clutch job.

Fitting notes / parts often required:

  • Strongly recommended to fit with a new clutch kit (friction plate + pressure plate)

  • Check/replace the clutch guide tube/sleeve (if fitted), fork & pivot, and the retaining clip (where used)

  • Inspect the input shaft splines and consider replacing the gearbox input shaft seal if there’s any oil contamination

  • If clutch feel is poor, check the slave cylinder / master cylinder and clutch cable/hydraulics (model dependent)
