Product description

The clutch cable on the older builds is attached to the clutch fork lever with a double nut. On the younger builds, it is secured with a wing nut. Replacement of this lever is only necessary if the lever is bent (for example, if the gearbox has been dropped) or is so badly rusted that the keyways are corroded (although the latter is not common). When installing another gearbox, make sure that the lever is the same length as your old gearbox. If this is not the case, either transfer your old lever or order a new one. To better identify the correct lever, you can look at the shape and length (measured from center to center between the two holes) and thickness of the clutch fork.

Clutch fork, springs and relatives
If the lever needs to be replaced, it is advisable to also replace the spring immediately (even if it has not broken off). In case the clutch fork with mounting hardware also needs to be replaced, these parts are also listed below. See tab "related parts".
