Land Rover Part Number: FTC2957 - Clutch Release Fork - LT77 and R380
FTC2957 is a clutch release fork for LT77 and R380 5-speed manual gearboxes. Fitted within the clutch release mechanism, the fork converts axial movement from the clutch pedal linkage into lateral movement to operate the release (throw-out) bearing, transmitting pedal input across the clutch housing to disengage the driven disc. Correct shape and alignment maintain consistent bearing contact and lever geometry; worn or damaged forks can cause uneven release, noise or premature bearing wear. This part is commonly used on Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic models equipped with LT77 or R380 transmissions and manual clutch systems.
