Description
Aftermarket clutch release cross shaft for Freightliner FLD series tractors, replacing Freightliner OEM 02-09788-007. The cross shaft pivots between the clutch linkage and the release fork, transferring pedal travel to the throwout bearing. 8-3/4 in shaft length matches the original Freightliner FLD assembly — bolts in without modification of the bell-housing pivot bores or linkage.
Signs You Need a New Clutch Release Cross Shaft
- Worn bushings on the cross shaft causing slop in clutch pedal travel
- Clutch fork not fully releasing or returning, leading to dragging or chatter
- Visible bend, crack, or scoring on the shaft body
- Squeak or knock from the bell-housing area when the pedal is depressed
