This item is a genuine Poulan replacement part that has been sourced from the original manufacturer to be used with chainsaws. The clutch is a complete part assembly that includes the spring and the clutch shoes. This item rotates with the motor shaft and prevents the chain from moving when idle and drives the clutch drum/sprocket when the RPM is increased. This item is available as an individual replacement part.

The part I received was broken and I don't know how to get this company to send me a new one or how to return the broken one. I'm very disappointed in what I received. Had to give 1 star because it wouldn't let me give no stars
