Is Replacing a Release Bearing Considered a Major Overhaul?

[DiRuth]

No. The following is relevant information about the release bearing: Introduction: The clutch release bearing is installed between the clutch and the transmission. The release bearing housing is loosely fitted on the tubular extension of the transmission's first shaft bearing cover. A return spring ensures that the shoulder of the release bearing always presses against the release fork and retracts to the rearmost position, maintaining a gap of approximately 3-4mm with the end of the release lever (release fingers). Performance: The clutch release bearing should move smoothly without sharp noises or sticking. Its axial clearance should not exceed 0.60mm, and the wear on the inner race should not exceed 0.30mm. Usage Precautions: Ensure the clutch release levers are properly leveled, and the return spring's elasticity meets specifications. Adjust the free travel to the required range (30-40mm) to prevent it from being too large or too small.
