Product Overview

The 2101-1601180 clutch release bearing (also known as a throw-out bearing) is a critical component in the manual transmission clutch system of LADA VAZ vehicles. It engages with the clutch pressure plate diaphragm spring during gear changes, allowing smooth and precise clutch disengagement.

Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel (GCr15), this bearing delivers:

• Smooth clutch operation — precision-ground surfaces minimize friction during engagement and release

• High axial load capacity — engineered to withstand the repeated thrust forces of clutch actuation

• Long service life — chrome steel construction resists wear, fatigue, and corrosion

• OE-equivalent fit — direct replacement requiring no modification to existing clutch assembly

• Consistent performance — tight dimensional tolerances ensure reliable operation across temperature ranges

Sourced from Nexans Bearings' trusted manufacturing network — including leading Chinese bearing brands QC, C&U, ZWZ, TWB, and ZWA — every unit is inspected before dispatch.

Q: What is a clutch release bearing and what does it do?

A clutch release bearing (also called a throw-out bearing) is the component that presses against the clutch pressure plate's diaphragm spring when the clutch pedal is depressed. It allows the clutch disc to disengage from the flywheel, enabling smooth gear changes without grinding or transmission damage.

Q: What are the signs of a failing clutch release bearing?

Common symptoms include: grinding or rattling noise when the clutch pedal is pressed, difficulty changing gears, clutch pedal vibration, or complete clutch failure. Early replacement prevents damage to the pressure plate and flywheel.
