About Clutch Actuation

Actuation parts connect your clutch pedal to the clutch itself. This range includes release bearings, spigot bearings, release forks and pivot balls, which are often replaced at the same time as the clutch to avoid noise and pedal problems later.

Select your vehicle at the top of the page to see parts that fit. If you're replacing the whole clutch, a clutch kit may already include some of these parts. Call us on 02 9413 3166 if you'd like to check.

Clutch Actuation FAQs

What is a clutch release bearing?

The release bearing, also called a throwout bearing, presses on the pressure plate's diaphragm fingers when you push the pedal. This releases the clutch. It spins whenever the pedal is pressed.

What does a noisy release bearing sound like?

Usually a whirring, grinding or squealing noise that changes or appears when you press the clutch pedal. Noise that goes away when the pedal is released often points to the release bearing.

What is a spigot bearing?

A spigot or pilot bearing sits in the end of the crankshaft or flywheel and supports the front of the gearbox input shaft. It's small and inexpensive, so it's usually replaced with every clutch job.

What is a concentric slave cylinder?

A concentric slave cylinder combines the slave cylinder and release bearing in one unit, mounted inside the bellhousing around the input shaft. Because it sits inside the gearbox housing, it's normally replaced at the same time as the clutch.

Should I replace the release bearing with a new clutch?

Yes. The release bearing wears along with the clutch, and replacing it during the clutch job avoids having to remove the gearbox again later. Most clutch kits include one.
