Confused about the term.



is a release bearing the same as a throwout bearing for clutches?

pilot bearing keeps the input shaft aligned and captive



release bearing pushes on the clutch fingers, therefore for clutching the clutch https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

but does throwout bearing = release bearing?

As far as I know yes.
