release bearing

[luloym]

What does a release bearing do? I brought my Nissan Escapade to the casa for pms and they told me they heard something and it's time to replace the release bearing. The catch is they want to replace the whole clutch assembly kit with the release bearing. Can I just replace the release bearing and not the whole clutch assembly (they estimated the clutch assembly kit at 20k)? Minor repair lang ba ang replacement ng release bearing? How do I really know the release bearing has to be replaced ( dahil sabi lang nila may narinig sila which is not a good enough reason for me)?

Thank you, workshop gurus, for your expected inputs.

What's the mileage of your Nissan Escapade? The release bearing could be due for replacement if you hear a sound (grinding or ringing sound usually) when the clutch is not pressed down. Usually when the clutch assembly has to be brought down to change one of the parts (release bearing, clutch disk and pressure plate) the recommendation is to change everything already as the labor just covers one item for all three parts and if your car is already high mileage and the clutch is worn then perhaps you can change it all already. But if your car is still low mileage and/or you've racked mostly highway mileage (where your clutch isnt that stressed out) then you can just change the bearing.

The casa will charge high for labor and stuff. You may want to canvass around at other shops then just use original parts (from the CASA or a Nissan auto supply).

it is not necessarily automatic to change the pressure plate, disc when you change the release bearing. stay away from the casa, there are always good mechanics around. you may change the lining of your clutch disc. there are shops who do this. as for the pressure plate, you can repair it. it simply needs a machine shop which specializes on this kind of job. as for the release bearing, dont settle for anything less, buy the genuine parts always. best thing is, there are repair shops which only caters to transmission repairs. look for one in your area.

you have to pull down the tranny to replace the bearing kaya they suggest lahat na. if you have no problem shifting or do not hear the noise no need to do it.

Kung minor noise lang wag mo na muna papalitan. Di naman sirain ang release bearing. It gets noisy with age but it usually last longer than any of the clutch system parts.

Sliding na po ba ang clutch?
If not, hintayin niyo na para isang trabaho na lang.
Did you complain sa casa of the chatter noise?

[banawe]

pull down of transmission is a very big job ... and casa's price will be expensive ....

i think you should replace all the clutch all together especially pag release bearing ang sira kasi pag tumutunog dahil sa release bearing ibig sabihin yan yung pressure plate mo may tama na ... kaya umuingay yan ... and better to replace it all para isang labor na lahat

siguro yung clip mo sa release brg nasira kaya maingay ....

any more question pm nalang

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Maaasahan talaga kayo. Actually, I don't hear any sound kaya ako nagtatanong. The van's mileage is 68,000 km and mostly used for bringing kids to school which is 10 mins. away from home. Pag-ipunan ko na muna.

Do you have genuine Nissan parts for Escapade, banawe? Will source na lang from you if cheaper than casa.

Maraming salamat po muli.

try mo muna outside casa medyo mahal talaga maningil ang casa! last na pa-service ko sa casa inabot ng 24K plus considering na replace timing belt lang and brake pads ng disc brake. i dont think aabutin ng 20 K yan kung sa labas mo papaservice. just get a reputable shop to do the work. ask around your area, it helps to canvass around. for sure maraming parts yan since abundant ang nissan escapade dito sa pilipinas

[speedyfix]

actually no need to do anything if you don't feel any difference/noise. pabayaan mo nalang till you really have to pull down the tranny.

hey bro, have your Transmission Input Shaft inspected. since na posibleng nag wear out na yun and is causing that whining or chattering sound. kaso nga lang, you have to take off the tranny again so that youll be able to inspect it. also, did you already "break-in" the clutch??


aite, peace.

[forcemajeure]

diko sure if tiningnan nila ang transmission input shaft, tnx sa reply...

[speedyfix]

have it pulled down and inspected...

Ganito rin problem ng pizzapie ko, na observe ko lang yung tunog galing sa secondary clutch, pagpinipress ko sya nawawala. Anyway due for timing belt change na ako kaya papalitan ko na rin clutch assembly, sure ako may tama na rin pressure plate ko

*stitches and burn

mga peeps nasagot kona ang problema ko, internet lang pla katapat nito

eto nakita ko with my research

[SIZE=+1]Clutch Diagnostic Test[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]If you find that your clutch has failed, here is an at-home diagnostic test that anyone can perform:[/SIZE]

1. [SIZE=2]Start your car, set the parking break, and put the car in neutral. [/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=2]With your car idling, listen for a growling noise without pushing the clutch in. If you hear something, it's most likely a problem with the transmission. If you don't hear a noise, proceed to step three.[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=2]With the car still in neutral, begin to push the clutch and listen for noise. If you hear a chirping noise as you press, it's most likely the clutch release, or throw-out bearing. If you don't hear a noise, proceed to step four.[/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=2]Push the clutch all the way to the floor. If you hear a squealing noise, it's probably the pilot bearing or bushing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]If you don't hear any noise during these four steps, then your problem is probably not the clutch. If you hear the noise at idle and it goes away when the clutch is pressed, it may be an issue in the contact point between the fork and pivot ball.

mga peeps,

eto na naman ako nagpapalit nko ng tranny sa mazda gen1 ko

[forcemajeure]

almost 7 years ko na tinitiis ang ganitong problem sa tranny, everytime na cold na ang engine, pag start mo at naka neutral, 1st and 2nd gear ka may maingay na kaskas ng
bakal sa tranny, nag palit nako ng clutch disc, pressure plate, pivot bearing, release bearing, clutch fork at pati buong tranny, ganun padin..nawawala lang ang ingay if you make
tapak on the clutch,and pag mainit na ang engine...

dahil sa wala akong magawa at puro internet nag try lang ako sa YOUTUBE search ako ng noise on tranny may lumabas at same problem kame, everytime na apakan nya clutch
nawawala daw... ang kaskas ng bakal.. ang solusyon nya eh naglagay sya ng synthetic oil sa tranny nya Lucas Synthetic Treatment...wla naman brand d2 na ganun eto po yung link sa youtube

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE3rmcNbWWc"]YouTube - NVG T850 Noise[/ame]

wla naman ganyan brand d2 so nag decide nalang ako na top 1 made in usa 3 liters synthetic oil na pang engine ang lagay ko... (may isa pa naman akong tranny if masira wag naman sana) yung top 1 P280 each plus P50 labor, pag alis ko sa shop, may ingay padin pro nawala ng konti..so sad padin ako...sabi ko pag gising ko bukas..dun ko malalaman...

pag start ko nung umaga kalako antok lng or tulog pako aba nawala ang ingay...na miss ko sya promise...ahihihi nawala ang ingay...kaso late na nung malaman ko solusyon
gumastos nako ng magkano kaasar... sa bagay decision ko naman lahat ng gastos na ginawa ko... sana wag naman masira tranny ko dahil sa experimento ko..

anu po masasabi nyo mga fafas? may isang tranny pa naman ako kaya malakas loob ko...pro so far 1wk na eh ok naman takbo ko... diko po kayo encourage na gawin to gusto ko lng share kasi natuwa ako sana tama ginawa ko...
