RENAULT Original Hydraulic Clutch Release Bearing Clio 3 RS (Slave Cylinder)

What You Risk Losing with a Non-Compliant Clutch Release Bearing on Your Clio 3 RS

The clutch release bearing is the most stressed part during gear changes, particularly with sports use or in Cup mode. A failing bearing poses a direct threat to the **gearbox** of your Renault Clio 3 RS. At Optimiz Access, experts in maintenance for sports and premium vehicles, we only offer this original RENAULT part to preserve your transmission.

The Risk: Losing Gear Shifting Quality and Damaging the Gearbox

Using a worn bearing or a cheap generic part exposes you to:

• Loss of control during disengagement: The biting point becomes imprecise, leading to difficult, or even impossible, **gear changes**, detrimental to the sports driving experience.
• Hydraulic failure: The bearing, which also serves as the slave cylinder, can leak brake fluid (shared with the clutch circuit), resulting in a spongy clutch pedal and forced vehicle immobilization.
• Premature wear of associated components: Abnormal stress on the clutch mechanism and flywheel, leading to much higher repair costs.

Frequent Questions about the Clio 3 RS Clutch Release Bearing (Customer Search)

What is the difference between a mechanical and this hydraulic release bearing?

Unlike older systems, this bearing is hydraulic: it integrates the clutch slave cylinder piston. It is an all-in-one assembly that simplifies actuation but requires an original manufacturer part to ensure sealing and the correct pushing force for your Clio 3 RS's mechanism.

When is it essential to replace this bearing?

It is highly recommended to replace the clutch release bearing (Ref. 306206627R) systematically when changing the **complete clutch kit**. Since its replacement requires removing the gearbox (JH3/TL4), changing it preventively avoids expensive labor later on. If you notice noise when disengaging or a spongy pedal, replacement is necessary.

Should I replace the clutch kit at the same time as the bearing?

For maximum reliability and peace of mind, yes. Replacing the bearing alone on a worn clutch mechanism or disc is not optimal. Find the complete kits and other compatible transmission parts for your Clio 3 RS at the bottom of this page.
