A clutch release device of the self-centering type comprises a clutch release bearing means for releasing a clutch, and bearing support means slidably mounted on the front cover of transmission means for supporting and guiding the bearing means. The bearing means is formed for movement in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis of the fly-wheel of the clutch. A plastic deformation member of visco-elasticity is disposed between the bearing means and the bearing support means. The plastic deformation member is deformed by the motion of the bearing means perpendicular to the rotational axis which results from a centripetal force acting on the bearing means during clutch release when there is an eccentricity between the rotational axis of the flywheel and the center line of the bearing means, thus permitting movement of the bearing means to its aligned position, so that the plastic deformation member is plastically deformed into the aligned position and holds the bearing means at that position.
