If you're looking to get your clutch system running smoothly, the Advanced Clutch Release Bearing RBDN1 is a solid choice. This isn't just any release bearing; it’s a high-quality, direct-fit option that really lives up to OE standards. I've installed a few of these on my own rides, and I can tell you they make a noticeable difference in performance.
Installation is straightforward. If you're a DIYer like me, you’ll appreciate that you can find the installation instructions here. Just follow the steps, and you’ll have it in place without too much fuss.
What sets this bearing apart? For starters, it’s built with precision that matches or even exceeds what you'd expect from original equipment. The material is solid steel, which gives it the durability you need for the long haul. Plus, it’s designed with a round shape and a self-aligning feature, so you won’t have to worry about alignment issues during installation.
Now, let’s get into some specs. The inside diameter measures 1.23 inches (or 31.2 mm), while the outside diameter is 2.56 inches (65 mm). It weighs in at just 0.4 pounds, making it lightweight but sturdy enough for the job. And yes, it’s sealed to keep out dirt and grime, which is a big plus when you’re putting in the miles.
Just a heads up: this release bearing must be paired with an ACT clutch kit (which isn’t included), so keep that in mind when you’re planning your upgrade. It fits perfectly in 2003-2005 Dodge Neon models, so if that’s your ride, you’re in luck.
All in all, if you want a reliable release bearing that won’t let you down, the RBDN1 is worth considering. It’s one of those parts that might not get a lot of attention, but when it’s working right, you’ll definitely notice the difference.
