Keystone KI1100123OE Clutch Pedal Release Bearing OE Replacement

The Keystone KI1100123OE is an OE-style clutch pedal release bearing engineered to restore proper clutch engagement and pedal feel. Designed as a direct replacement for worn or failed original equipment, this bearing meets OEM specifications for fit, form, and function — making it a reliable choice for collision repair shops and service technicians working on Kia vehicles.

The clutch release bearing — also referred to as a throw-out bearing — is a critical component in any manual transmission system. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the bearing applies pressure against the diaphragm spring of the clutch pressure plate, disengaging the clutch disc from the flywheel to allow smooth gear changes. A worn or failed release bearing commonly produces grinding, squealing, or chirping noises when the clutch pedal is pressed and can lead to difficult gear engagement if left unaddressed.

• OE-equivalent replacement bearing built to original equipment specifications
• Designed for direct, no-modification installation
