a throw-out bearing is connected to the release fork, which is connected to the clutch pedal via cables or hydrualics. when u put ur foot on the pedal, the bearing pushes on the springs in the diaphragm, which in turn takes pressure off the pressure plate, which releases the clutch disc from the flywheel.
