what is a thrust bearing???

[SIR33]

what is this and is it different to a throw out bearing????

[urbanoperations]

a thrust bearing is a bearing that goes around the Input Shaft of a Gearbox, it is attached to a Clutch fork Via 2 little Clips...

[Mr GTS4]

thrust bearing is located at the back of the engine where the flywheel bolts to.. the input shaft out of the gearbox goes into this... the throwout bearing is a part of your clutch thing. not sure how it works but it push's or pulls your clutch plate in/out to disengauge your clutch... something like that

On a more mechanical and less car-orientated note, a thrust bearing is the same as a standard bearing or radial bearing, except withstands axial force. That is a force pushing towards it along its axis rather than down on top of it radially.

See uni does come in handy sometimes.
