This small spring steel clip prevents lateral movement of the fork during operation, ensuring consistent contact between the fork and the release bearing carrier. If worn or dislodged, the fork can shift off the pivot, resulting in clutch engagement failure or a rattling noise from the bellhousing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring steel retention staple designed to locate and retain the clutch release fork on the pivot pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement for LT77 and R380 manual gearbox applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShould be replaced as a matter of course during any clutch overhaul - reusing a fatigued clip risks premature failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the release fork pivot pin for wear at the same time, as a worn pin will not retain the staple correctly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Land Rover Defender (1986–2006) with 2.5 Diesel NA, 2.5 Petrol, 2.5 Turbo Diesel, 200Tdi and 300Tdi engines, Discovery 1 (1989–1998) with LT77 and R380 transmissions, and Range Rover Classic with R380 manual transmission to VIN JA610294.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
