The clutch basket circlip is one of the more important peripheral clutch parts and should be carefully checked for wear and tear during every clutch inspection or service and if necessary, replaced. If the circlip is twisted or weakened it can cause the whole clutch assembly to come apart at high speed, with potentially disastrous result for the rest of your gearbox.

Strengthened and/or reinforced clutch assembly circlips are highly recommended for all performance enhanced motor setups. The circlips produced by SURFLEX are wider than the standard items. The SIP clutch basket circlips are noticeably stiffer than the standard items and similar to other smaller gearbox circlips, have two eyes at the open end to ease assembly with a circlip tool.
