1. Clutch Fork: This is a relatively long rod connected to the throw-out bearing. When you depress the clutch pedal, it moves the fork, which in turn pushes the throw-out bearing against the pressure plate, disengaging the clutch.
2. Reverse lockout rod (or shift linkage rod): This shorter rod is part of the mechanism that prevents you from shifting into reverse unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. It's a safety feature.
It's important to note that the exact terminology and appearance may vary slightly depending on the specific make and model of the car. A picture would help confirm this definitively.
