TRNW-2: 68rfe caged spring assembly

[Healy Powertrain]

Most of them break a clip or 2. I wonder why they break. It may have to do with the UD rotaing slightly with every UD application and the clips acting as a stop. As far as why theyre there, once the spring retainer is installed the clips have no function other than making the (factory) installation process easier?
