In modern automotive transmission systems, the clutch release bearing is a crucial component that directly influences shifting smoothness, driving comfort, and the overall reliability of the transmission. OEM clutch release bearings are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with vehicle manufacturers’ standards, guaranteeing consistent performance, low operational noise, and an extended service life. Our factory specializes in producing OEM-grade clutch release bearings for global automotive aftermarket clients, delivering stable quality, precise dimensions, and strong durability suitable for a wide range of applications—including Nissan vehicles manufactured from 2005 onwards.

Common Nissan OEM Clutch Release Bearing Models We Supply
The OEM clutch release bearing models we produce for Nissan vehicles include: Clutch release bearing 40202-EB70B, 051949B, 961729, 72549, 40202-EB70C, NKF8130, 993323A, 40202EB70A, and 40202EB71B. These models are widely used in Nissan pickup and SUV platforms, such as the Nissan Navara D40 series, as well as related transmission systems, supporting reliable clutch operation under various driving conditions.
The Function of OEM Clutch Release Bearings
The clutch release bearing (also referred to as a throw-out bearing) is tasked with transmitting the force from the clutch pedal to the pressure plate, enabling smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch system. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the bearing moves forward to disengage the clutch. Due to constant friction and rotational movement, this component must endure high mechanical stress, heat, and continuous operation. High-quality OEM bearings help avoid common issues such as:
Transmission noise during clutch operation
Vibration during gear shifting
Difficult or inconsistent gear engagement
Premature wear of the clutch system
Increased frequency of maintenance
Using reliable OEM-standard bearings significantly enhances vehicle performance and prolongs the lifespan of the transmission.
Precision Manufacturing Process
Our production process is built on advanced engineering technology and strict manufacturing standards, ensuring that every clutch release bearing meets OEM requirements. We utilize high-quality bearing steel with excellent hardness and fatigue resistance. Through precise heat treatment, the material achieves improved durability and stability under high-load conditions. Each bearing race is processed using high-precision CNC grinding equipment, ensuring a smooth surface finish and accurate dimensions, which reduces friction and enhances operational efficiency. Our sealing system is designed to prevent dust, moisture, and contaminants from entering the bearing, ensuring long-term protection and stable lubrication performance. We also apply high-temperature resistant grease to maintain consistent lubrication even in extreme operating environments, such as long-distance driving or heavy-duty applications.
Strict Quality Control System
Quality assurance is a core part of our manufacturing process. Every clutch release bearing undergoes multiple inspection stages before delivery.
All raw materials are tested for hardness and chemical composition to ensure consistency and reliability.
Dimensional accuracy is strictly verified using precision measuring instruments to ensure full compliance with OEM specifications.
Each bearing is tested for rotational smoothness, noise level, and vibration performance to guarantee quiet and stable operation.
Durability testing is conducted under simulated real-world working conditions to verify long-term performance in high-speed and high-load environments.
Finally, every product undergoes a 100% inspection before packaging to ensure defect-free delivery to customers.
OEM Cross Compatibility and Applications
Our clutch release bearings support multiple OEM and aftermarket reference numbers, making them suitable for a wide range of Nissan transmission systems. For instance, 40202-EB70B is commonly cross-referenced with 051949B, 961729, and 72549, while 40202-EB70C is associated with NKF8130. Other models, such as 40202EB70A and 40202EB71B, are widely used in Nissan Navara D40 applications. These components are typically installed in vehicles produced from 2005 onwards, especially in pickup trucks and light commercial vehicles that require durable transmission parts.
