Audi A4 Clutch Release Bearing

The Audi A4 Clutch Release Bearing enables drivers to easily release engine torque from the gearbox and converts the pressure on the pedal into a measured axial movement to ensure that the parts are not worn out after each gear change. This thrust-type bearing, situated between the clutch pressure plate and the rotating transmission shaft, turns in continuous motion but mostly works to resist the axial force, the forward to back force generated by the helical gears applied in current transmissions to provide a quiet and smooth ride within an Audi transmission. By pushing a pedal, the Clutch Release Bearing slides along its guide, pushing its fingers into the pressure plate and disengaging the clutch disc and the flywheel, breaking power transmission and allowing the gears to be changed without grinding, a feature long treasured by Audi fans. Since it is loaded longitudinally (along the shaft) and not radially, the component is specifically constructed to withstand high axial force and minimal friction, which enhances trademark Audi smoothness. The listed information mentions a single type of automobile, the Clutch Release Bearing, also known as the "throw out" bearing, therefore all models of the A4 generation are based on the same principle of a small rotary mechanism, the rolling elements of which allow maintaining lightness and accuracy in motion. The benefits are a decrease in the force needed on the pedals, less noise during shifts, and an increase in the service life of the transmission gears, which would otherwise dissipate undesired axial forces. Effective operation of this Clutch Release Bearing becomes the key to credible Audi driving behavior.

    Q: How to remove and install the Clutch Release Bearing on the transaxle on Audi A4?
    A:
    To remove the transaxle, first take out the leaf spring mounting bolt at the end of the clutch release lever and remove the spring. Next, push the detent spring back at the pivot end to release the lever by pushing it through the hole, which will allow you to withdraw the lever along with the release bearing from the guide sleeve. Use a screwdriver to depress the tabs and separate the bearing from the lever by prying inward on the plastic tabs retaining the bearing. After that, remove the plastic pivot from the ballstud, as the release lever locates on the plastic pivot. For inspection, hold the bearing by the outer race and rotate the inner race while applying pressure; if it doesn't turn smoothly or is noisy, replace it. Wipe the bearing with a clean rag and check for damage, wear, and cracks, avoiding immersion in solvent since it is sealed for life. Also, inspect the release lever for any cracks and bends. For installation, start by lubricating the ballstud and plastic pivot with a little copper grease, and apply some grease on the release bearing surface that contacts the diaphragm spring fingers and the release lever, as well as on the guide sleeve. Install the spring onto the release lever, ensuring the plastic pivot is in place on the ballstud, then position the lever and bearing, pressing the release lever onto the ballstud until the spring holds it in position. Finally, install the transaxle.
