Exedy Replacement OEM Release Bearing for Select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury 1997-2008 (BRG452)
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
Fits select 1997-2008 Ford Escort and Fusion, Mazda 6 and Protege, and Mercury Milan models.
The Exedy Replacement OEM Release Bearing (BRG452) is a precision-engineered component designed to restore smooth and efficient clutch operation. As a direct replacement for your worn or noisy factory bearing, this unit ensures consistent pressure against the clutch cover diaphragm, allowing for clean disengagement of the drivetrain during shifts. By maintaining tight tolerances and high-quality construction, Exedy bearings reduce friction and pedal effort compared to failing factory units.
- Manufacturer Part Number: BRG452
- Direct OE Replacement: Designed to meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications for fit and function.
- Smooth Operation: Engineered to eliminate "whirring" noises and chatter associated with failing release bearings.
- High-Durability Build: Constructed with materials designed to withstand the heat and mechanical stress of manual transmission bellhousings.
- System Integrity: Replacing the release bearing during clutch service is a critical step in preventing premature wear on the pressure plate diaphragm.
