I did not find a cutaway in google so I figured I could at least post my own photo of one.Īnother way to phrase my question. Here is a photo of my release bearing (incorrectly aligned in this fork, just FYI).

Most importantly, though, don't be neurotic! This stuff is designed to be used, just go ahead and use it. If you do everything right you'll save more wear on the much more expensive and difficult synchronizers than you will on the cheap and relatively easy release bearing. Just sit there with the clutch pedal floored.

If you're going to be stopped for 4 or 5 seconds, you'd be nuts to do a bunch of clutch work. When more pressure is put on them while they are spinning, their wear increases.

The bearings are constantly spinning and wearing. It's a bunch of bearings (ball bearings or needle bearings or whatever) in between a pair of cylinders used as sleeves. The throwout (release) bearing is not a spring. It's not actually wear material is not worn off.
