THROW-OUT BEARINGS

Identifying the correct bearing for your transaxle is vital for a successful install. We carry both early-style unguided bearings (found in pre-1970 models) and late-style guided bearings (for 1971 and later models with a guide sleeve). Whether you are refreshing a classic restoration or building a heavy-duty off-road sand rail, our bearings are sourced from trusted manufacturers like Sachs to ensure they can handle the heat and RPMs of your air-cooled engine.

Our Throw-Out Bearing Selection Features:

• Guided & Unguided Designs: Exact-fit options for all Type 1, 2, and 3 transaxles, ensuring compatibility with your specific clutch operating shaft.

• Heavy-Duty Performance: Built to withstand the increased clamping forces of performance pressure plates like the Kennedy Stage series.

• Sachs OEM Quality: Experience the same smooth operation and durability that Volkswagen engineers originally specified.

• Installation Hardware: We also stock the essential spring clips and operating sleeves required to secure the bearing to the release arm.

• Versatile Application: From daily-driven Beetles to high-travel dune buggies, our bearings provide the reliability needed for any terrain.

Don't let a "chirping" bearing turn into a major transmission teardown. Replace your release bearing during every clutch job for peace of mind. Shop the collection at Appletree Auto today and take advantage of Free Shipping on all orders over $75!
