Detailed Description

This Timken clutch release bearing is intended for vehicles that require a precise bearing interface between the clutch release mechanism and the transmission. The 01576 is a fitment-specific replacement for 1984-1989 Nissan 300ZX applications, making it a relevant choice when servicing clutch noise, rough release action, or bearing wear in the drivetrain. Timken validates the design, materials, and manufacturing process to support consistent performance in demanding transmission use. This part cross-references SKF (e.g., N2106) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Reducing noise from a worn clutch release bearing
• Restoring smooth clutch disengagement
• Addressing rough or inconsistent pedal feel linked to bearing wear
• Replacing a bearing that has developed play or surface damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify transmission type and clutch release bearing dimensions before installation. Inspect the clutch fork, release mechanism, and related wear surfaces during service, and replace any damaged components as needed. Confirm the part number 01576 against the vehicle application before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken tests bearing design, materials, and manufacturing processes to help maintain consistent performance. The brand has supplied original equipment to the automotive industry for more than a century, and the 01576 reflects that OE-focused engineering approach.
