clutch release bearing?

If you missed out the bearing then I feel sorry for you as you'll be kicking yourself when pulling it back apart.... lol.

Yup!

 

Either it's not there at all, or it's come off as you were fitting it...

cheer meirion ive taken the gearbox off tonight - and no clutch release bearing in there at all! grrrr!! my own fault should have double checked just assumed it would be in there

 

 

how do u tell the difference between BE1 and BE3 ones? im guessing this is a BE1? but cant see how they stay on?

theres little clips on it but they just sit on the clutch arm/fork so can fall off when fitting

[dcc 855]

unless you have swapped the release arm for a be3 item kate, i am sure you have a be3 box

[welshpug 1,657]

that looks like a broken BE1 release bearing to me

[kate205gti 4]

tiz a be3 box wasnt sure what the clutch release bearing was - found it in a corner lol

 

got a new be3 release bearing being posted now (thanks silky!) so hopefully should fit on ok and all work finally lol! im assuming they only fit on one way

[kate205gti 4]

took a pic of the 2 bearings so can see the diff now

 

 

the be3 clutch release bearing i have now has a broken clip on one side thou - is this ok to use still or will it cause me problems?? ive taken this gearbox on and off 3 times so far on my own, if i fit this and i gotta take it off again im gonna screeaaaaaammm!! so just want to make sure!

broken side:

 

any good to use or not please?
