The throw-out bearing is the common name for the release bearing used to operate the clutch. If you are running a high-performance engine and drivetrain, it can add a tremendous amount of strain on the release bearing and cause premature failure. Fortunately many aftermarket companies make high-performance bearings that have been designed to withstand the rigors of intense use and abuse. While many people remember to upgrade their clutch kit, they often forget to do the release bearing. Save yourself the time and expense of having to do it later and check out our selection of high-performance Volkswagen Beetle clutch bushings and bearings to get your project sorted.

Q: What are clutch bushings and bearings? Why buy them?
A: The clutch bushing or bearing usually refers to a part of your drivetrain called the release bearing or throw-out bearing. Depending on your vehicle this can be a bearing or bushing, and is used to physically operate your clutch pressure plate to engage and disengage the clutch as you operate the clutch pedal. As you can imagine, the combination of incredible spring pressure combine with the rotational speed of the engine puts intense strain on this component. Over time your release bearing will wear out and begin to fail which can cause a host of problems from a simple noise to total clutch failure. This is especially true if you are using a high performance clutch and pressure plate. Replacing your clutch bearing or bushing with a high-quality unit that is designed to withstand the rigors of a performance clutch will ensure trouble free operation and a long lifespan for your entire drivetrain.
