The Honda 40181-776-000 Side Clutch Spring is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GX160 horizontal shaft engines and HP400 power carriers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component it replaces. This spring is the correct choice for restoring proper clutch function on equipment fitted with these units — confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this spring meets the same tension and geometry requirements as the original, ensuring the clutch engages and releases as designed.
- Exact Replacement — part number 40181-776-000 matches directly to GX160 horizontal shaft engines and HP400 power carriers with no adaptation needed.
- Serial Number Matters — Honda supersedes parts at production breaks, so verify your unit's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct spring for your machine.
- Restore Clutch Response — a fatigued or broken side clutch spring causes sluggish engagement, slipping, or failure to disengage; replacing it brings clutch response back to spec.
The side clutch spring provides the return tension that controls how the clutch mechanism engages and releases drive or implement power. It holds the clutch components in the correct resting position and ensures smooth, consistent actuation when the operator engages the control. When this spring weakens, stretches, or breaks, the clutch may fail to engage fully, slip under load, or not return to the disengaged position — any of which disrupts normal operation and can accelerate wear on surrounding clutch components.
