The VALEO 43030V7113 Clutch Bearing is a hidden hard worker in the JAC T8 pickup’s manual transmission system—think of it as the “smooth link” between your clutch pedal and the clutch assembly. What’s its main job? To cut down on friction when you press the clutch (like when you’re shifting gears) and make sure the clutch engages or disengages nice and smoothly every single time. And since it’s made by VALEO—a trusted name in car parts—this bearing isn’t some generic no-name piece. It’s built to handle the T8’s engine torque, all the gear shifts you do day in and day out, and long hours of driving, whether you’re hauling cargo or just commuting.
This clutch bearing is made specifically for JAC T8s with manual transmissions from 2018 and later. It fits every version: 2WD or 4WD, all trims (Comfort, Elite, Luxury), and it’s a perfect match for both the 2.0T diesel engine (4DB2-1D1) and 2.0T gasoline engine (4GA3-3D/4D). It lines up exactly with the T8’s clutch release fork and transmission input shaft—no need to force it, tweak it, or mix it with other bearings. If you slap on a non-VALEO bearing or one made for the wrong model, you’ll end up with weird clutch noises, a stiff pedal, or even total clutch failure while you’re driving.
This clutch bearing might be small, but it’s super important for how your T8’s manual transmission works. Here are 3 key things it does:
Slashes friction, stops premature wear: When you press the clutch pedal, the bearing pushes against the
clutch pressure plate to “disconnect” the engine from the transmission (so you can shift). VALEO’s design uses top-notch lubrication and smooth rolling parts to cut down on friction between these moving pieces—no metal scraping against metal that wears out the clutch fast.
Keeps gear shifts smooth (no clunks!): A good clutch bearing means no rough, clunky shifts. It keeps the T8’s clutch release fork moving evenly, so the clutch engages or disengages at just the
right time. Without it, you might have a hard time getting into gear (like that grinding sound when shifting into 1st) or feel the pedal get stuck halfway down.
Handles engine torque and heat like a pro: The T8’s 2.0T engines kick out solid torque, and the clutch system gets hot when you use it hard (like climbing hills with a heavy load). This VALEO bearing is built to handle both—its heat-resistant material won’t warp, and it can take the pressure from the clutch without cracking. Cheap bearings? They’ll melt or crack when things get tough.

This VALEO 43030V7113 clutch bearing only works with JAC T8s that have manual transmissions—it won’t work with T8s that have automatic transmissions, or any other vehicles. Here’s exactly what it fits (and what it doesn’t):
What it FITS: 2018–current JAC T8s (manual transmission only—2WD or 4WD, all trims: Comfort, Elite, Luxury). It works with both the 2.0T diesel (4DB2-1D1) and 2.0T gasoline (4GA3-3D/4D) engines, too. Every manual-transmission T8 uses the same clutch bearing size, so this one’s a perfect match.
What it WON’T work with:
JAC T8s with automatic transmissions: ’Cause they don’t have a clutch system—this bearing’s totally useless here.
JAC T6 pickups: Their clutch assemblies are a different size—this bearing can’t attach to the release fork at all.
Non-JAC trucks (like the Great Wall Wingle or Maxus T60): The sizes of their clutch forks and input shafts don’t line up with this bearing. It’ll never fit right.
T8s that’ve been modified: If you swapped out the factory clutch kit for a non-original one, this bearing might not line up with the new pressure plate.
What it needs to pair with: It has to go with the JAC T8’s original clutch pressure plate (part no. 1601010P3000) and
clutch disc (part no. 1601020P3000). Using it with off-brand clutch parts can mess up the alignment—leading to bearing noise or it wearing out way too soon.
Putting in a clutch bearing isn’t like changing an
air filter—it needs special tools and know-how. Only JAC-authorized techs (at 4S shops) or VALEO-certified repair places should handle this. Here’s why:
It has to line up exactly: The bearing needs to align perfectly with the clutch release fork and transmission input shaft. Even a 1mm off alignment leads to uneven wear, a vibrating clutch pedal, or the clutch slipping. Techs use special alignment tools to get this right—you can’t guess it.
Don’t break the clutch parts: The clutch assembly is pretty fragile. If you pry the old bearing out too hard or force the new one in, you could crack the pressure plate or bend the release fork—and fixing those is super expensive. Techs know how to take it out and put it in without breaking anything.
Testing after install matters: After putting the bearing in, techs test how the clutch pedal feels, if shifts are smooth, and check for leaks. DIY installs usually skip this step—and that causes problems later on, like a clutch that stops working when you least expect it.
