What does a crankshaft thrust bearing do?
In an engine block, crankshaft thrust bearings are placed into grooves formed in the block’s webbing. Their purpose is to limit the crankshaft’s forward and backward movement by keeping the crankshaft within a specific area of motion.
Is a noisy thrust bearing bad?
Noise under this condition indicates a worn release bearing or a worn pilot bearing. To isolate the two, keep the clutch pedal on the floor and shift the transmission into neutral. If the noise persists, the release bearing is bad.
Why does my clutch thrust / release bearing vibrate?
Vibration in the pedal – A worn release / trust / throw out bearing can cause the clutch pedal to vibrate. This is due to the worn bearing being unable to distribute even pressure onto the clutch plate, causing uneven contact with the pressure plate. Is your clutch thrust / release bearing in need of replacement? If so, we can help you.
What causes a crankshaft thrust bearing to wear out?
A number of factors may contribute to wear and overloading of a thrust bearing, such as: 1 Poor crankshaft surface finish. 2 Poor crankshaft surface geometry. 3 External overloading due to.
What does a worn out clutch bearing mean?
The clutch assembly is the direct link between the engine and the transmission and is responsible for transferring power to the vehicle’s rear wheels. As such, problems like a worn out clutch thrust bearing can produce pronounced symptoms that indicate service is required. A worn thrust bearing has increased clearances between its rollers.
Why does my Clutch make a noise when I press the pedal?
Noise A worn thrust bearing has increased clearances between its rollers. When vibration is felt while the clutch pedal is being pressed down it can indicate a worn thrust bearing. Thrust bearings can lose their lubrication over time as they wear.

Can a worn out thrust bearing cause a transmission to jam?
The thrust bearing face can wear like the main surface. If there is enough space on the rod journals, worn-out thrust bearings can enable the crank backward enough to jam the torque converter into the transmission or move forward or backward enough to result in excessive edge-wear on the belts.
