Product Description
Clutch Release Bearing Seat 8972553130 8-97255313-0 for ISUZU NKR 4JB1 4HG1
Product Overview: The Clutch Release Bearing Seat (Clutch Release Bearing with Housing) with OEM numbers 8972553130 / 8-97255313-0 is a verified direct-fit replacement for ISUZU NKR series light trucks equipped with 4JB1 2.8L, 4HG1, 4HE1 engines, etc. This release bearing seat assembly is a critical component of the clutch release mechanism, responsible for transmitting the clutch pedal force to the clutch pressure plate, enabling smooth engagement and disengagement of engine power to the transmission.
How It Works
The clutch release bearing is installed between the clutch and the transmission. The release bearing seat (with bearing) is loosely sleeved on the tubular extension of the first shaft bearing cover of the transmission. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the release fork pushes the release bearing forward via the return spring. The shoulder of the release bearing is always against the release fork through the return spring. The release bearing maintains a gap of approximately 3–4mm from the end of the separation lever (separation finger). The release bearing allows the release lever to move axially with the clutch output shaft, ensuring smooth clutch engagement, soft disengagement, reduced wear, and extended service life of the clutch and the entire drivetrain.
Failure Symptoms
Replace immediately if any of these symptoms occur:
- Clutch Noise — Grinding or squeaking sounds when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal (bearing wear or poor lubrication)
- Clutch Drag — Difficulty shifting gears; gear grinding (bearing seat wear causing insufficient release travel)
- Clutch Pedal Vibration — Vibrating feeling when pressing the pedal (bearing seat wear or bearing damage)
- Clutch Slippage — Engine RPM rises but vehicle speed does not increase during acceleration (bearing seizure preventing full pressure plate engagement)
- Heavy Pedal Feel — Clutch pedal becomes noticeably heavier (bearing seat wear increasing operating resistance)
- Juddering During Takeoff — Vehicle shakes during launch (uneven pressure plate force due to bearing seat wear)

Important Notes:
- The release bearing seat is a critical component of the clutch system — wear or damage causes clutch drag and difficult shifting
- Recommended to replace clutch pressure plate and clutch disc simultaneously (replace all three clutch kit components together)
- Maintain 3–4mm clearance between release bearing and separation lever (separation finger) end
- Apply appropriate high-temperature grease to the tubular extension of the transmission first shaft bearing cover before installation
- For 100% accurate fitment, please provide VIN (Chassis Number) or engine model
