Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC3416 clutch release bearing staple used for?

The FRC3416 clutch release bearing staple is the spring clip that secures the clutch release bearing onto the release fork. It holds the bearing located on the fork so it stays in place as the fork pushes it against the clutch cover diaphragm fingers.

Should I replace the staple when changing the clutch?

Replace the staple whenever the clutch or release bearing is renewed. It is a small spring clip that can lose tension or distort over time, so fitting a fresh one during a clutch job is cheap insurance against the bearing working loose on the fork.

Which vehicles does FRC3416 fit?

FRC3416 fits manual-transmission Land Rover Defender (1987 to 2006), Discovery 1 (1989 to 1998), and Range Rover Classic (1992 to 1994 from VIN JA610294). Confirm your vehicle has a manual gearbox, as automatics use a different clutch release setup.
