Diagram Ref No 16
Located within the clutch bellhousing, the shaft supports the clutch release fork and provides the pivot point around which the fork moves when the clutch pedal is operated.
Correct movement of the clutch fork is essential for transferring force from the clutch slave cylinder to the release bearing and pressure plate. A worn, corroded or damaged shaft can interfere with smooth fork movement and contribute to poor clutch operation.
This OE Match replacement is suitable for clutch repairs, gearbox removal work or complete clutch-system refurbishment.
What This Product Does:
The clutch fork forms part of the mechanism that disengages the clutch when the driver presses the clutch pedal.
Hydraulic pressure from the clutch slave cylinder moves the release fork. The fork pivots around the clutch fork shaft and pushes the release bearing against the pressure plate, allowing the engine and transmission to temporarily disengage.
The clutch fork shaft therefore helps:
- Provide a secure pivot point for the clutch release fork
- Maintain correct fork alignment
- Allow smooth clutch release movement
- Transfer clutch actuation force efficiently
- Support correct release bearing operation
- Help maintain consistent clutch pedal action
- Prevent excessive unwanted movement within the release mechanism
Although relatively simple, the shaft is an important part of the clutch actuation system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
The clutch fork shaft is subjected to repeated movement and mechanical loading whenever the clutch is operated.
Common signs of wear or deterioration may include:
- Stiff or heavy clutch pedal
- Rough or notchy clutch operation
- Clutch pedal movement feeling inconsistent
- Difficulty disengaging the clutch fully
- Difficulty selecting gears
- Clutch dragging when the pedal is fully depressed
- Creaking or squeaking from the bellhousing area
- Excessive play in the clutch release fork
- Visible scoring or wear on the shaft
- Corrosion or pitting on the shaft surface
- Shaft binding within the fork or bearing surfaces
- Uneven or restricted release fork movement
- Wear discovered during clutch or gearbox removal
Similar symptoms can also be caused by the clutch release fork, release bearing, slave cylinder, pressure plate or related pivot components, so the complete clutch release mechanism should be inspected.
Why Replacement Matters:
The clutch fork must pivot smoothly and remain correctly aligned for the clutch to disengage properly.
If the fork shaft becomes worn, corroded or damaged, the release fork may develop excessive play or become difficult to move. This can affect the amount and smoothness of clutch release travel.
Poor fork movement can contribute to:
- Incomplete clutch disengagement
- Difficult gear selection
- Increased clutch pedal effort
- Accelerated wear of the release bearing
- Uneven loading of the clutch release mechanism
- Additional stress on the slave cylinder and fork
Replacing a worn shaft helps restore a smooth, stable pivot point and allows the clutch release mechanism to operate as intended.
Because access normally requires substantial clutch or transmission disassembly, it is sensible to inspect the shaft whenever the gearbox is removed for clutch replacement.

Built to OEM standards, it fits directly into the clutch release lever to provide friction-free, precise clutch engagement — restoring the feel and performance of your Porsche’s original setup.
Sold each.
Fits:
Porsche 924 Turbo 1976 - 1985

• Location: Inside the clutch release lever, mounted on the clutch release cross shaft.
• Function: Supports the lever’s rotational movement, providing smooth, friction-free clutch actuation.
• Position: Transmission housing area (bellhousing).
Over time, clutch pivot bearings experience wear due to constant motion, heat, and clutch actuation load. A worn or seized bearing can cause:
• Stiff or inconsistent clutch pedal feel
• Clutch disengagement issues or noise
• Accelerated wear of the release lever or shaft
Recommended replacement:
• During clutch or gearbox overhaul
• Whenever the release lever is removed or serviced
• If clutch pedal effort increases or lever play is excessive.
Replacing with an OE Match needle bearing restores factory-smooth clutch action and long-term reliability.

OEMatch Clutch Forks & Levers — Durability, Sealing, Performance
OEMatch clutch forks & levers for Porsche models restore dependable clutch engagement by transferring pedal or hydraulic movement to the release bearing. Correctly made forks maintain alignment between clutch elements, preserve pedal feel and reduce wear across the transmission, helping retain smooth gear changes for everyday and light-performance use.
Available Types- Forged steel clutch forks for standard replacement
- Reinforced alloy release levers for increased resistance to bending
- Pivot arm kits including bushes and pins
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original clutch forks & levers.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the clutch forks & levers and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM clutch forks & levers engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Clutch forks act as the mechanical link between the pedal or slave cylinder and the release bearing; they pivot to disengage the clutch disc and must keep the bearing aligned with the pressure plate and input shaft. Typical construction uses forged steel or reinforced alloys to resist bending and fatigue; accurate pivot points and correctly sized contact faces are essential to prevent uneven release or premature wear. OEMatch selects items across Porsche models and generations to help maintain replacement coverage and to support routine clutch servicing and drivetrain repairs.
- Restores precise clutch engagement and smoother gear shifts
- Reduces pedal vibration and inconsistent feel
- Limits additional wear to the release bearing and pressure plate
- Improves durability under repeated load
- Metal fatigue or bending from repeated load cycles
- Worn or cracked pivot points and contact surfaces
- Corrosion or heat-related distortion weakening the part
- Misalignment or excessive pressure from hydraulic or cable faults
Fitting a sound fork or lever restores correct release geometry and reduces the risk of judder, incomplete disengagement or accelerated wear elsewhere in the clutch assembly. Replacing these items during a clutch overhaul is good practice to ensure consistent engagement and to protect related transmission parts, especially where signs of bending, scoring or excessive play are present.
Advantages- Engineered to match the original form, fit and function for Porsche applications
- Manufactured from materials chosen to resist bending and wear
- Available in replacement and reinforced options to suit restoration or higher-load use
