The genuine STIHL 0000 997 5816 Tension Spring is an OEM clutch spring used in selected STIHL professional chainsaws and cut-off saws. Manufactured from high-strength heat-treated spring steel, this spring is designed to maintain correct clutch shoe tension and engagement characteristics, ensuring smooth power transfer and reliable operation under heavy loads. Replacing worn or weakened clutch springs helps prevent clutch slippage, chain creep at idle and premature wear of clutch components.
