It is a sealed bearing that allows a non rotating object to press all of the forks or "levers" on a pressure plate at the same time. This also allows for minimal wear on all the components used to release and engage the clutch.

Why would the newly replaced clutch on a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo not depress without a ton of force and actually feel like it is pushing back at a certain point?

Something is installed incorrectly. Most likely you did not install the "Pull clutch" properly. With a 1997 Rodeo clutch, the release bearing actually snaps into the ring in the clutch, and when the clutch is depressed the release bearing pulls the clutch, rather than the standard "Push clutch" model. So, when you are depressing the pedal, the clutch is not being pulled away, giving you the hard pedal feel. Make sure when installing your release bearing that you remove the small ring from the back of the connector ring on the clutch before you insert the release bearing, and then snap it back on after the release bearing is completely installed or the clutch will not work properly.


Why is there operating clearance between the clutch release bearing and spring diaphragm?

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.


Why is it important to have an operating clearance between the clutch release bearing and spring diaphragm?

in order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing. This prevents premature wear of the bearing. To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces. This prevents clutch slip.
