What are the symptoms of a broken clutch release bearing?

2025-03-14

If the release bearing is damaged, it may happen that the clutch plate cannot be completely separated after the clutch pedal is depressed, resulting in difficulty in shifting gears. If the bearing is damaged, it will affect the normal operation of the engine, so the bearing must be replaced immediately after it is damaged.
The release bearing is connected to the clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the release bearing will press against the diaphragm spring on the pressure plate. At this time, the diaphragm spring will tilt, so that the clutch plate is separated, and the connection between the engine and the gearbox is disconnected.
The release bearing does not resist the diaphragm spring when the clutch pedal is lifted. At this time, the diaphragm spring will press the clutch plate, so that the engine and gearbox are connected together. At this time, the power of the engine can be transmitted to the wheels.
The clutch belongs to the transmission system of the car and is installed on the flywheel of the engine.
The clutch pressure plate is fixed on the flywheel of the engine, and the clutch plate is between the pressure plate and the flywheel.
There is a spline in the middle of the clutch plate, which fixes a transmission shaft, which is the power input shaft of the gearbox.
Clutch discs are wearing parts and need to be replaced periodically. Clutch plates wear out as your car's mileage increases.
When the clutch plate wears to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced.
