Clutch Release Fork Pivot Bushing. Porsche 911 / 912 / 914 › 90111674101

This OE Match clutch release fork pivot bushing is a replacement component for the clutch release mechanism on the Porsche 911, 912 and 914 applications listed below. It supports the fork at its pivot, allowing the release mechanism to move as the clutch is operated.

Fits

• Porsche 911/912 1965–69
• Porsche 911 1965–1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
• Porsche 914 1970–76

Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.

What Is This Part?
The pivot bushing forms the bearing interface at the clutch release fork pivot. The fork works with the release bearing to operate the clutch, so its supporting contact surfaces need to allow movement without excessive wear or binding. In a cable-operated release mechanism, pedal movement passes through the cable and fork to the release bearing. The bushing is therefore worth inspecting when the clutch release assembly is accessible during repair work.

What Does This Part Do?

• Supports the pivot: Provides a bearing interface where the clutch release fork moves.
• Allows fork movement: Supports the fork’s pivoting action as it operates the release bearing.
• Maintains the supporting interface: Replaces a worn or damaged contact component within the release mechanism rather than leaving deterioration at the pivot unaddressed.

These functions follow from the bushing’s role within the fork and release-bearing mechanism.

Why Replace This Part?
Replace the bushing if inspection reveals damage, excessive wear or an insecure fit at the pivot. Wear in the release mechanism can contribute to stiffness or difficulty disengaging the clutch, but these symptoms do not identify the bushing alone as the cause. Inspect the fork and its mating pivot surfaces before deciding which components need renewal. 

During clutch work, assess the release mechanism as an assembly. A replacement bushing should not be used to compensate for a damaged fork or worn mating hardware. Manufacturer guidance supports inspecting release forks, shafts and bushings and replacing them where necessary, rather than automatically renewing every component. 

When to Replace This Part?

• Visible damage: The bushing is cracked, distorted or no longer seats correctly.
• Worn contact surfaces: Inspection confirms deterioration at the bushing’s working interface.
• Excessive pivot play: Movement has been traced to the bushing after checking the fork and mating components.
• Binding or difficult release: Inspect the whole release mechanism if clutch operation becomes stiff or disengagement is incomplete.

Replacement should follow inspection of the release-system contact points and their condition. 

Where Is This Part Fitted?
Location: At the clutch release fork pivot within the gearbox clutch release assembly, alongside the fork and release-bearing mechanism.

FAQs

• Should I replace it whenever the clutch is changed?
  Inspect it while accessible and replace it if its condition or fit is unsuitable. Clutch replacement alone does not establish that the bushing is worn.
• Does difficult gear selection prove this bushing has failed?
  No. Check release-system wear, freedom of movement and adjustment before selecting replacement components.
