1732801 Three Mounting Point Release Bearing

1732801 Three Mounting Point Release Bearing is a hydraulic clutch release component used inside the clutch actuation system of selected Ford Transit applications. Hydraulic pressure moves the internal piston and release mechanism when the clutch pedal is operated. Its three mounting bores are part of the physical installation design. 

1732801 Three Mounting Point Release Bearing is mainly associated with Ford Transit models using the VMT6 six speed manual transmission. Ford catalog information identifies part number 1732801 as a clutch slave cylinder assembly for Transit 2006 to 2014 with a six speed manual transaxle. Exact compatibility should be checked against the OE number, transmission and vehicle specification before purchasing.

Core Function
Clutch operation depends on controlled movement between the clutch pedal, hydraulic circuit and release mechanism. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, hydraulic pressure is transferred to the clutch slave cylinder. The cylinder converts that pressure into mechanical movement, pushing the release bearing toward the clutch diaphragm spring.
The release movement separates the clutch pressure plate from the clutch disc. This allows the engine and transmission to disengage temporarily, making gear selection possible in a manual transmission. For a central hydraulic clutch assembly, the hydraulic actuator and release bearing are arranged as one compact mechanism rather than as completely separate external components.
The three mounting points provide a defined installation position inside the clutch housing. Correct positioning is important because the release bearing needs to act along the intended clutch release path. Incorrect part selection can affect installation, hydraulic connection or clutch operation, so OE number verification remains important for distributors and purchasing teams.

Q1: What does 1732801 Three Mounting Point Release Bearing do?
1732801 Hydraulic Clutch Release Bearing with Three Mounting Points transfers hydraulic pressure into the mechanical release movement required to disengage the clutch. Its central hydraulic cylinder and release bearing work together inside the clutch system.

Q2: Which Ford Transit models use 1732801?
Catalog information lists selected Ford Transit Van, Platform Chassis and Tourneo applications from the 2006 to 2014 period. Specific engine and transmission combinations apply, so the Transit model name alone is not enough for final fitment confirmation.

Q3: What information should B2B buyers send for an inquiry?
Buyers should provide the OE number, original sample or clear product photos, vehicle model, engine, transmission, required quantity and packaging requirements. For OEM or ODM orders, drawings and technical specifications can also be provided for review.

Q4: Can 1732801 Three Mounting Point Release Bearing be customized?
OEM or ODM customization can be discussed according to the supplier's production capability. Buyers should provide samples, drawings or detailed requirements before confirming any structural change. Mounting points, hydraulic connections and piston dimensions should be treated as functional specifications rather than cosmetic details.
