Clutch Release Bearings

[cjongrey]

Whilst our Yaris was in the garage to establish the cause of the coubik rattle (see previous Air Filter Housing posting), they said <by the way, your clutch release bearings need lubricating>. That sounds like it shouldn't be too expensive I thought. Best part of £300 they said. Are dry clutch release bearings a known issue for Yarii?

This part should last the life time of the complete clutch.

Its non lubricating. Only way to get at it is gearbox out.

Some times you can give it a squirt of lub through a hole but you then risk getting some lub on the clutch, not good.

I have known some noisy bearing last for thousands of miles, they just make a noise.

Dont slip the clutch so much in future.....
