Frequently asked questions

What is the Clutch Release Arm Pivot Plate and what does it do?
The Clutch Release Arm Pivot Plate mounts inside the clutch bellhousing on the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox. It provides the pivot point for the clutch release arm (fork), locating the arm as it acts on the release bearing when the clutch pedal is pressed.
Which vehicles does this pivot plate fit?
This fits the LT77 five-speed manual gearbox on the Land Rover Defender (1986-2006, VIN break LA939975), Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic (from 1986). Confirm your gearbox is the LT77 unit and check your VIN against the break before ordering.
What are the signs the clutch release arm pivot plate needs replacing?
A worn pivot plate causes a poor or notchy clutch feel and can let the release arm move off its correct pivot point. It's typically replaced during a clutch overhaul while the gearbox is out. Renew it if the pivot face is worn when you have access.
