That's called a quill.... the extension tube that guides a release 
bearing on many cars. They are a wear part, and are often sold with 
some clutch jobs. Fords come to mind.
    If you are curious, the addition of the quill is the difference 
between 1970 and 1971 VW aircooled release bearings and the pressure 
plate. In fact, the earlier VW bearing was originally carbon, then 
rollers were supplied, then the quill was introduced. Bit o' history.
