Why should I replace the hydraulic release bearing when doing a clutch job?

Replacing the hydraulic release bearing during a clutch job is recommended because it's a wear item that works closely with the clutch system. Doing it at the same time prevents potential future failures and the need to remove the transmission again shortly after.

What is the main function of a hydraulic release bearing?

The hydraulic release bearing, also known as a slave cylinder, is activated by hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder. Its job is to push against the clutch diaphragm spring, disengaging the clutch so you can shift gears.

Does this release bearing come with any other necessary hardware?

This product is for the hydraulic release bearing itself. It's recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or the manufacturer's installation instructions to determine if any additional hardware or fluids are required for proper installation.

Product Details

When you're replacing the clutch on your 2004-2021 Subaru WRX STI with the 2.5L Turbo 6-speed engine, it's a good time to consider replacing the hydraulic release bearing. This part works with your clutch master cylinder to disengage the clutch when you press the pedal. A worn-out release bearing can lead to a stiff pedal, noise, or even clutch failure, so ensuring it's in good shape is key to a smooth-shifting drivetrain.

This hydraulic release bearing from Clutch Masters is built to handle the demands of your STI's performance drivetrain. It's designed as a direct replacement for the factory unit, meaning it fits right into place without modifications. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this release bearing is no exception. It's a solid option to ensure your clutch system operates correctly after a clutch job.

This helps prevent having to pull the transmission again soon if the old bearing fails. Make sure to refer to your service manual for the correct installation procedure and any associated hardware or fluids needed.
