What is a housed release bearing?

A housed release bearing includes a protective cover that helps keep dirt and debris out of the bearing mechanism. This design is intended to improve durability and ensure smooth operation within the clutch system.

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

The release bearing is a wear item that works directly with the clutch fork to disengage the clutch. Replacing it at the same time as the clutch disc and pressure plate is a common practice to prevent future issues and ensure the longevity of the new clutch components.

Does this release bearing come with any other parts?

This product is for the housed release bearing only. It is designed to be a direct replacement for the original part on your Mazda Miata.

Product Details

If you're replacing your clutch on your 1990-2005 Mazda Miata, you'll want to make sure you have a fresh release bearing. This housed release bearing from Exedy is built to meet the original equipment specifications for your car. It's designed to sit inside the bell housing and work with your clutch fork to disengage the clutch when you press the pedal.

Exedy is a well-known name in clutch components, and this release bearing is a solid option if you're looking for a direct replacement. It's a housed unit, meaning it comes pre-assembled with its own protective cover, which helps keep out dirt and debris. This makes installation a bit more straightforward and helps ensure the bearing lasts longer in its environment.

When you're doing a clutch job, it's always a good idea to replace wear items like the release bearing. It's a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a lot of headaches down the road if the old one starts to make noise or fails. Make sure you have this on hand before you start the job.
