The clutch release fork 12817 is a heavy-duty mechanical lever for FOTON and HOWO trucks. Based on our field experience, this fork is designed to provide precise actuation of the release bearing against the pressure plate. Manufactured from high-strength forged or cast steel with hardened contact tips, the 12817 model ensures smooth gear engagement and long-term durability under heavy-duty hauling conditions.
Mechanic's Expert Advice: Wear on the fork's contact points (the "fingers") is the most common reason for replacement, leading to uneven pressure on the bearing and "clutch drag." If you find it difficult to shift gears or hear a squealing noise when pressing the pedal, inspect the 12817 fork for bending or excessive wear. Installation Tip: Always inspect the pivot ball ("soldier bolt") and applying specialized high-temperature grease to the pivot and contact points to ensure a smooth, friction-free operation. Replacing a worn fork during a clutch job is a cost-effective way to prevent future transmission issues.
