Genuine Mazda Gearbox Clutch Fork Dust Cover / Rubber Boot • JF01-16-214

Genuine Mazda JF01-16-214 Gearbox Clutch Fork Dust Cover / Rubber Boot

Replacement Genuine Mazda clutch fork dust cover for manual-transmission Mazda MX-5 Mk3, Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 / NC models from 2006 to 2015 listed in the compatibility table.

The clutch fork dust cover, also known as the clutch fork rubber boot, fits around the clutch fork where it passes through the gearbox bellhousing. It closes the opening while allowing the fork to move as the clutch pedal is operated.

The cover helps prevent water, dirt and road debris entering the bellhousing around the clutch release mechanism. This helps protect the clutch fork, pivot, release bearing and surrounding components from external contamination.

This listing is for one Genuine Mazda clutch fork dust cover. There is one cover fitted per manual-transmission vehicle.

Replacement may be required where the original cover has split, hardened, stretched, become loose or is missing completely. A damaged cover is commonly found during clutch or gearbox work and should be renewed while access is available.

Fitment advice: Match the original clutch-fork opening, fork arrangement and manual gearbox configuration before installation. Inspect the cover retaining edges and the surrounding bellhousing aperture for dirt, corrosion or damage. For cars with a replacement or non-standard gearbox, matching the original part number and clutch-fork arrangement is recommended.

Other items to consider: When changing this part, you may also want to consider purchasing a clutch fork, fork pivot, retaining spring, clutch release bearing, clutch kit, gearbox input-shaft seal and fresh transmission oil where gearbox removal forms part of the repair.

Useful tools / consumables: Suitable trim or hook tool, socket and spanner set, brake cleaner, cleaning cloths and a small amount of the rubber-compatible assembly lubricant specified by the applicable Mazda workshop procedure where required.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy to Moderate where the cover is accessible with the gearbox installed. Difficulty becomes Advanced if gearbox removal is required as part of wider clutch or release-mechanism repairs.

Why Genuine Mazda? Genuine Mazda clutch and transmission components are designed to match the original bellhousing opening, clutch-fork profile and surrounding gearbox components.

Installation notes: Clean the clutch fork and bellhousing opening before fitting the new cover.

Operate the clutch mechanism and confirm that the fork moves freely without pulling the cover out of position.
