The Clutch Fork acts as the lever that pushes the throwout bearing into the pressure plate. Over decades of shifting, the pivot points wear down, or the spring clips break, leading to a "sloppy" pedal feel or a clutch that won't fully disengage.
Inspection Point If you are doing a clutch job, inspect the fork! A bent or worn fork can ruin a brand new throwout bearing in miles.
