The clutch bearing for an AC compressor is located in the center of the clutch. If the bearing goes bad, then the clutch is replaced as a whole part rather than changing the bearing.
Yes, the clutch throwout bearing is hydraulically operated.
The clutch bearing or " throw out" bearing is going bad and will need to be replaced, take this opportunity to change the clutch as well.
The bearing lets the belt pully free wheel on the compressor input shaft that the clutch is attached to.
A throw out bearing is the bearing in a manual transmission that helps to engage and to disengage the clutch.
check your fluid level for the clutch master cylinder or the throwout bearing, the clutch release bearing could do this too.
No, main bearing noise is a rumble Throw out/release bearing for the clutch will only be heard when the clutch pedal is depressed. If you hear the noise without the clutch pedal being depressed, it is most likely the gearbox first motion shaft bearing that is at fault. First motion shaft bearing noise usually goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed.
You cannot change the compressor bearing, however, you can change the clutch bearing. Which one is bad? Is there a noise when the clutch is engaged, or not engaged?
sounds like maybe a clutch release bearing. what vehicle
When the clutch is adjusted properly the throw-out bearing is COMPLETELY disengaged as soon as you take your foot off the clutch. A throw-out bearing that is lightly touching the pressure plate can often make noise, especially if the bearing is getting ready to go. Make sure the clutch is properly engaged. There should be about an inch of play at the top of the pedal throw. Also make sure all of the springs are in place, pulling the clutch forks off the bearing.
If there were no operating clearance the clutch release bearing would constantly be in contact with the spring diaphragm causing wear on both the diaphragm and the bearing itself, also the bearing pushing on the diaphragm could cause the clutch friction plate to not be fully engaged and slip.
The throwout bearing is bad. This bearing sits in the center of the clutch. Replacing it requires removing the transmission from the car, and it would be a VERY good time to replace both the clutch and the pressure plate while you have it apart.
