Key Features & Benefits

This little piece actually does a really important job inside your clutch. It's where the clutch fork actually contacts the throw – out bearing – it's the point where that pushing force gets transferred to disengage the clutch. Think of it like a little cup or seat that guides everything and keeps it lined up properly. It’s pretty simple in design, but crucial to how smoothly things work. Basically, when you press the clutch pedal, the fork pushes on the valve seat, which then pushes on the throw – out bearing, and that’s what ultimately disengages the engine from the transmission. It’s a key part of the whole mechanical linkage. It isn’t something that directly makes the engine go, but it allows you to shift gears and stop the engine's power from getting to the wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this thing wears out or gets damaged, you'll notice if you're having trouble getting into gear, or if the clutch feels really spongy or doesn't fully disengage. It acts like a shield, protecting other parts from wear. If it’s failing, you might get a lot of noise, or it might even make the clutch pedal stick. It’s one of those parts that’s relatively inexpensive to replace, but can save you from a much bigger, more expensive repair down the road. You can find these pretty easily, and places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. It's a good idea to inspect it any time you're doing clutch work – preventative maintenance is key.
