Land Rover Part Number: FTC4720 - Clutch Release Bearing Guide
FTC4720 is a clutch release bearing guide. Fitted within the clutch release mechanism of the manual transmission, it locates and guides the clutch release bearing so it runs concentric to the transmission input shaft, providing a smooth sliding surface for axial movement and preventing lateral play that can impose side loads on the bearing and release fork. On Defender models with the listed 2.5-litre manual transmissions it is a serviceable item when replacing the release bearing or during a clutch overhaul; worn or scored guides should be renewed to avoid accelerated bearing wear.
