Release Bearing
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Release Bearing, also known as the throw-out bearing, is a vital component of the clutch system in commercial trucks. It is responsible for disengaging the clutch when the driver depresses the clutch pedal. The Release Bearing is a small, cylindrical bearing that is mounted on the transmission input shaft. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the Release Bearing moves forward and pushes against the pressure plate, which disengages the clutch. This allows the driver to shift gears smoothly without damaging the transmission or the clutch system. The ME605584 Release Bearing is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of commercial trucking. It is made from high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear, ensuring a long service life. The Release Bearing is a critical component of the clutch system and should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If the Release Bearing fails, it can cause the clutch to slip or fail altogether, which can result in costly repairs and downtime. It is important to replace the Release Bearing as soon as any signs of wear or damage are detected to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the commercial truck.
