ABSTRACT:
A release bearing assembly for a vehicle clutch comprising inner and outer relatively slidable sleeves located around the gearbox shaft. The inner sleeve is coupled to the clutch operating lever and the outer sleeve to the release fork of the clutch. The outer sleeve is in a predetermined position when the clutch is engaged and is moved axially away from that position when the clutch is released. An annular member threadably engages the exterior of the inner sleeve and abutment means act on the annular member during clutch release so that the two sleeves move together. Clamping means hold the annular member against rotation during clutch release. Release means release the clamping means when the clutch is re-engaged so that the annular member can rotate about the inner sleeve to allow the inner sleeve to move axially relative to the outer sleeve when it is at the predetermined position to compensate for any wear of the clutch.
