Sachs SB60372 Clutch Release Bearing Slave Cylinder Assembly

The Sachs SB60372 is a concentric slave cylinder (CSC) assembly that combines the clutch release bearing and hydraulic slave cylinder into a single integrated unit. Manufactured by ZF Sachs — a global leader in drivetrain technology — this assembly is engineered to OEM replacement standards for precise fit and long-term reliability.

How It Works:

The concentric slave cylinder mounts directly to the transmission bell housing, serving as the hydraulic link between the clutch pedal and the clutch diaphragm spring. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, hydraulic pressure activates the slave cylinder piston, which engages the integrated release bearing to disengage the clutch — enabling smooth, precise gear changes. Because the bearing and slave cylinder are integrated into one compact unit, the traditional release fork and associated pivot points are eliminated, reducing the number of mechanical wear points in the system.

Key Features:

• Integrated concentric slave cylinder and release bearing in one compact assembly
• Mounts directly to the transmission — no external release fork required
• Hydraulic actuation for smooth, low-effort clutch engagement and disengagement
• Backlash-free diaphragm spring clutch adjustment for consistent pedal feel
• Reduces vibration and clutch chatter compared to conventional fork-style release systems
• Built to OEM specifications by ZF Sachs for direct-fit replacement
• 1-year manufacturer warranty

As with any clutch component, replacement of the concentric slave cylinder is strongly recommended whenever the clutch or transmission is removed. The unit must be properly filled and bled during installation to ensure correct hydraulic function.
