Correct Release Bearing

[Iain-gti 6]

Hi,

 

 

 

I am currently fitting a peugeot 205 1.9 be1 box to Gti6 engine. Its got a 405 1.9 mi16 clutch fitted but the release bearing I dont think it will operate properly due to the plastic clips on the outside edge. Anyway i have taken some Pictures so you can see if its the correct fitment/bearing.

 

 

 

Thanks in advanced

BE1 bearing is a different design to a BE3 - it's metal and sort of "hooks over" more.

Iain, if you get stuck, I have 2 BE3 1.9 gearboxes here.

thanks for the replies, but do what release do I run? when running a clutch for a 405 Mi16, do I run a standard 205 one or ....?

You use the release bearing to match the clutch arm on the gearbox - so for a 205 1.9 BE1 gearbox, you want a BE1 release bearing.

 

The clutch cover and friction plate is the same regardless of BE1 or BE3.

Oh ok cheers anthony ill take the release bearing back and swap it with for a 205 one.
