ABSTRACT:
An anti-rotation device for the clutch release mechanism in a pull-type manually operated clutch system. The device has a substantially planar body portion with first and second side flanges each having proximal end portions that are joined to the lateral edges of the body portion. A reaction cavity is defined between the laterally spaced, first and second side flanges so that at least one of the fingers presented from a throw fork may be cooperatively received within the reaction cavity when the throw fork is operatively positioned with respect to the clutch release bearing. A fastening clip is presented from the distal end portion of the second side flange embracingly to secure the first leg of a flange on the clutch release bearing--and the hook portion of the retainer which embraces the leg--between the second side flange and the engaging arm of the fastening clip. A blocking paddle portion extends outwardly from, and in coplanar relation with, the body portion of the anti-rotation device to interact with one of the fingers on the throw fork and thereby preclude rotation of the clutch release bearing, even when the throw fork has been displaced from within the reaction cavity to permit disassembly of the clutch for inspection and/or repair.
