This STIHL Genuine Clutch Spring (part number 0000 997 5605) is an OEM replacement wear component designed to maintain proper clutch engagement in STIHL top-handle chainsaws. It is suited to MS193T, MS194T and MS201T models (and is also listed as fitting selected MS150/MS151 variants), making it a common service item for arborists and maintenance crews.

A worn, stretched, or broken clutch spring can lead to early or inconsistent clutch engagement, chain creep at idle, or sluggish drive take-up under load; replacing the faulty spring helps restore smoother operation and safer control. When replacing clutch springs, STIHL service guidance commonly recommends checking related clutch components (such as shoes and drum) for wear at the same time to prevent repeat issues.
