Chevrolet Metro Release Bearing
The Chevrolet Metro Release Bearing enables quick gear changes by cleanly disconnecting engine power from the transmission whenever the clutch pedal is pressed. Seated on the clutch housing, this Release Bearing rides a hollow shaft and slides forward through the clutch fork, hydraulics or cable motion, pressing on the pressure plate springs the moment your foot goes down, which frees the clutch disc so you can shift without grinding. Once the pedal comes up, the Release Bearing glides back, letting the pressure plate clamp the disc and restore drive. Over the years this small part remained functionally consistent across Chevrolet subcompact manuals, so Metro drivers will mainly see the standard ball-type Release Bearing rather than multiple designs, yet operation can still be cable-controlled on early cars or hydraulically actuated on later ones, the key difference being how pedal force reaches the bearing rather than how the bearing itself works. Wear sets in after high mileage or harsh clutch habits, leading to rattling, pedal vibration, stiff movement, and hard shifting, warning the driver that the final Release Bearing inside the clutch pack is losing lubrication or has gained excessive internal clearance. Timely replacement with a unit matching original thickness prevents added stress on the flywheel, disc, and pressure plate and keeps the agile character expected of a Chevrolet Metro intact.
Each OEM Chevrolet Metro Release Bearing we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Chevrolet Metro Release Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the Clutch Fork and Release Bearing on Chevrolet Metro?A:To remove the components, first disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then remove the transaxle. Note how the return spring is hooked onto the release shaft fork before detaching it using pliers. Slide the clutch release bearing off the transaxle input shaft, then remove the nut and pinch bolt from the clutch release arm and take the arm off the release shaft. Next, remove the cover from the release shaft seal, followed by the release shaft seal and No. 1 bushing using a bushing remover or a large socket. Take out the release shaft and return spring from the transaxle, and then remove the No. 2 bushing with a bushing remover and a slide hammer. For inspection, hold the center of the bearing and rotate the outer portion while applying pressure; if it doesn't turn smoothly or is noisy, replace it. Wipe the bearing clean and check for damage, wear, and cracks without immersing it in solvent. Inspect the release lever, fork, and bearing retainer for any wear or damage, replacing the right transaxle case if necessary. For installation, tap the No. 2 bushing into the transaxle with a hammer and a large socket, greasing the inside of the bushing. Install the release shaft and spring, then grease the inside of the No. 1 bushing, sliding it onto the end of the release shaft and tapping it into place. Grease the lip of the new seal and drive it into place using a large socket, staking the transaxle case against the seal at two points. Slide the shaft seal cover onto the release shaft, install the clutch release arm ensuring alignment with the punch marks, grease the new release bearing, and slide it onto the input shaft. Hook the return spring over the release shaft fork and install the transaxle, followed by adjusting the Clutch Cable.
