Sachs SBA8021 Clutch Release Bearing Throwout Bearing

The Sachs SBA8021 is a direct-fit OE-quality clutch release bearing (also known as a throwout bearing) engineered to the exacting standards of ZF Sachs, one of the world's leading manufacturers of clutch system components. Sachs clutch release bearings are OE-matched, delivering the same fit, form, and function as the original factory part.

Key Features:

• OE-matched design ensures precise fitment and reliable clutch engagement and disengagement
• Vibration decoupling — the bearing isolates engine-generated vibrations from the clutch actuating system, reducing driveline NVH
• High-precision steel inner and outer rings for long-term strength and dimensional accuracy
• Synthetic sliding sleeve engineered for optimized wear resistance, low friction, and dimensional stability
• Factory-filled with specialty grease to ensure reliable lubrication of ball-bearing grooves throughout the service life of the part
• No pre-load gap — the bearing rotates continuously with the clutch disc, eliminating the play between the releaser and diaphragm spring
• Manufactured under the ZF Sachs quality program backed by motorsport-derived engineering expertise

As with any clutch service, it is best practice to replace the clutch release bearing at the same time as the clutch disc and pressure plate. Since the majority of labor involved in a clutch job requires transmission removal, replacing all wear components together maximizes long-term reliability and minimizes future labor costs.
