This clip-type clutch release fork is an important manual transmission component for 1968-1969 Mercury Cougar owners running a compatible 289 or 302 V8. The release fork holds the clutch release bearing and transfers pedal movement through the clutch linkage, helping engage and disengage the clutch properly during shifting.
A worn, bent, rusted, cracked, loose, incorrect, or missing clutch release fork can cause poor clutch feel, incomplete release, difficult shifting, or inconsistent pedal operation. Built from durable steel with a black painted finish, this replacement is a strong choice when servicing the clutch system, replacing the release bearing, rebuilding the bellhousing area, correcting manual transmission operation, or completing a small block Cougar restoration.
Restore clutch release function on your 1968-1969 Mercury Cougar 289 or 302 V8 with a clip-type clutch release fork built from durable steel for compatible cars built after 02/14/1968.
