Are you experiencing rough gear shifts, clutch judder, or premature clutch wear? You might need a hydraulic throwout bearing (TOB). This critical component plays a vital role in the smooth and efficient operation of your manual transmission.
What is a Hydraulic Throwout Bearing?
A TOB is a hydraulically actuated bearing that disengages the clutch when the driver presses the clutch pedal. By applying hydraulic pressure, the TOB moves a piston that pushes the clutch fork, which in turn releases the clutch.
Benefits of Hydraulic Throwout Bearings:
Advantages of Hydraulic Throwout Bearings | Disadvantages of Hydraulic Throwout Bearings |
---|---|
Smoother gear shifts | Can be expensive to replace |
Reduced clutch judder | Require hydraulic lines and a master cylinder |
Increased clutch life | Can leak or fail over time |
