Clutch Release Shaft
Volvo

The Clutch Release Shaft is a critical element of the manual transmission’s clutch actuation system. It translates the movement of the clutch fork into precise, smooth disengagement of the clutch, enabling clean gear changes and reduced drivetrain shock under load. The shaft is engineered from high-strength steel with tight tolerances to resist bending, wear, and galling during repeated operation. Properly aligned, it ensures consistent throw of the release bearing, minimizing chatter and pedal effort while extending the life of the clutch assembly. This component works in concert with the release bearing, pilot bearing, and pressure plate to maintain predictable clutch feel and reliable engagement across a truck’s service life. Installation requires adherence to Volvo service procedures for alignment and torque to avoid improper disengagement or residual dragging. Courtesy of Source One Parts Center.
