Abstract

A clutch release mechanism comprises an annular clutch release bearing (10) having a substantially radially outwardly extending annular check surface (32) thereon; add a plurality of substantially radially extending clutch levers (34) each of which exhibits at its radially inner end (36) a contact surface (38) which contacts the check surface (32). Either the check surface (32) or each of the contact surfaces (38) is relatively concave, having two arms which are V-shaped in radial cross-section, and the other of the surfaces (32, 38) is relatively convex, being either V- shaped or arcuate in radial cross- section. When an axial force is applied between the clutch levers (34) and the clutch release bearing (10), if the clutch release bearing (10) is uncentred with respect to the clutch levers (34), contact between surfaces (32, 38) produces a radial centering force which centres the clutch release bearing (10) with respect to the clutch levers (34) without wobble. <IMAGE>
