ABSTRACT:
A clutch throw-out bearing assembly includes a thrust bearing member having first and second spaced apart annular thrust rings and a plurality of bearing elements rotatably retained therebetween. An annular shell holds the spaced apart thrust rings in a fixed axial spaced relation to one another while permitting relative rotation therebetween. A carrier member mounts the thrust bearing assembly, one annular thrust ring being non-rotatably affixed to the carrier member. The shell is non-rotatably affixed to this one annular thrust ring, while the other annular thrust ring is rotatable relative to the shell. This other annular thrust ring also includes a bearing surface exposed outwardly on the shell for selective engagement and rotation in unison with portions of a clutch throw-out bearing assembly. An annular sealing ring or shim is interposed between the facing surfaces of the other thrust ring and of the shell.
