Timken Clutch Release Bearing P/N:VW1339C
$70.99

Take the whir and chatter out of every clutch pedal press with the Timken Clutch Release Bearing (throwout bearing), part number VW1339C. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1972-1974 Volkswagen Campmobile, 1972-1975 Volkswagen Transporter, 1973-1979 Audi Fox, 1974-1977 Audi 100 Series, 1975-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, and 1975-1981 Volkswagen Dasher.

  • What it does: Sits between the clutch fork and the pressure plate. When you push the clutch pedal, the fork drives this bearing against the pressure plate fingers to release the clutch so you can shift gears.
  • Signs it may need replacing: A whirring, grinding, or rumbling noise that appears or changes when the clutch pedal is pressed, or a clutch that is hard to disengage — if a worn release bearing is the cause, this part replaces it.
  • Service tip: Because the transmission must be removed to reach it, it is common practice to renew the release bearing whenever the clutch is serviced.

Sold individually as one release bearing.
