Here are some additional tips for replacing the metal piece that broke off of the clutch:
* Be careful when working around the clutch. The clutch is a rotating part and it can cause serious injury if it comes into contact with your skin or clothing.
* If you are not comfortable working on your own vehicle, you can have the work done by a qualified mechanic.
* Always follow the safety precautions outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual.
