   Chances are if your clutch release bearing needs changing, the pressure plate and friction plate may require changing in the near future too.
   I would recommend changing for an new clutch kit.

   Yes it is, althought I wouldnt bother with that one as it doesnt mention the brand. Its best to stick with quality ones like Luk,Sachs or Valeo.

    It's always best to change the lot whilst the box is off never know what could happen just a bit more piece of mind if you ask me

    How do you know its 1 year and why didnt the previous owner change the the entire clutch - sounds fishy to me...
    If you knew the previous owner really well and can guarantee the friction plate was changed then go ahead and just change the release bearing..

    Sorry for the ignorance but he changed the pressure and friction plate but not the release bearing? I thought it came all separately (i.e 3 piece all seperately) or as an entire clutch kit?
