The Honda Fit Release Bearing allows the driver to easily cut the engine power to the gearbox whenever the clutch pedal is pressed, making gear changes fast and quiet. In all manual Honda Fits, this little part is located on the clutch housing, running along a hollow shaft, pushing against the pressure plate spring when hydraulic fluid or cable moves the clutch fork, freeing the disc to select another ratio. Many earlier subcompact years had a cable-actuated mechanism, but the later Honda compacts had a sealed hydraulic mechanism, and both styles use the same Release Bearing action. The Release Bearing moves inside when you step on the pedal, its rollers evenly pressing on it, then it withdraws as the pedal moves up so that the torque is transferred back to the wheels again. When a Release Bearing begins to wear from mileage or heat, telltale growls, pedal vibration, sticky engagement, and hard shifting appear due to increased clearance inside the rollers and thin lubrication. Keeping clutch use smooth, not riding the pedal, and replacing the Release Bearing with one that matches factory thickness helps the compact drivetrain be responsive. Across global markets, the third generation Fit retained the hydraulic setup, and Honda maintained light pedal feel, and owners find that the Fit shifts cleanly when the bearing is in good condition.
