IAP 113141165BEC Late Style Clutch Release Bearing VW Beetle Bus

The IAP 113141165BEC is a late-style clutch release bearing, also known as a throw-out bearing, designed for air-cooled Volkswagen transmissions. This critical clutch component serves as the connection between the clutch linkage and the pressure plate, allowing smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch system.

Key Features:

• Late-style design with flat tab mounting system for 1971-1979 applications
• Precision-engineered bearing for reliable clutch operation
• Direct replacement for OEM part number 113-141-165BEC
• Quality aftermarket construction for long service life

This throw-out bearing fits 1971-1979 VW Type 1 Beetle and Type 2 Bus models equipped with late-style transmissions. The late-style bearing features flat tabs on the sides for proper clip attachment, distinguishing it from early-style bearings which have rollers on the sides. Since clutch bearing replacement requires transmission removal, it is recommended to inspect or replace related clutch components including the clutch disc, pressure plate, and pilot bearing at the same time to maximize service efficiency.
