What the **** are these?!

[angus]

Put a new clutch in a few weeks ago - no problems, all works fine.
Took the engine out to roll the van over (will post a different thread with pics) and noticed these sitting at the bottom of the bell housing - no idea what they are, or what they have fallen off!! Any ideas?

Clutch type....

Hiya angus,

Pressure plate retention clips. They're supposed to be removed after bolting the pressure plate to the flywheel.

Hi Mike - cheers for that. I did wonder if it was something like that (and hope there should only be 3!)

Hiya angus,

Yep, three is the standard issue. So, you can relax now.
