Thrust bearing

[safehands]

What is a thrust bearing, when I bought my car it was apparently fitted with a new clutch but needed a thrust bearing... For the unmechanical new guy can anyone help? :)

Clutch release bearing is what you mean and its a gearbox off job.

Is it making a noise whe driving and when you push clutch noise goes?

Ahhhhhh no probs it's not connected prob why the pedals hitting the deck :) not fussed but just compiling a major list :) I did think that was what it was but aside from thinking that I wouldn't know anything else about it :)

(called endfloat)if ur crankshaft moves too much (getting gear may be difficult )u'll need a thrust bearing(one inside the engine)
usually the clutch release bearing gets noisy during operation
