As the clutch wears, clutch cables must have a means of adjustment to maintain proper geometry of the clutch linkage.
This adjustment is accomplished either manually (by threaded end-fittings), or semi-automatically
(by a spring loaded mechanism). In order to function, semi-automatic adjusting systems must be activated by a
trained individual (i.e. technician or vehicle owner).
Because clutch cables take the place of mechanical linkages or hydraulic systems, they play a critical role in
proper clutch operation. A broken cable causes a total loss of clutch operation. Damage to the cable or cable
housing can create drag, leading to a warranty claim.
Old clutch cables or cables that are not regularly adjusted can become stretched over time,
which may not permit proper clutch disengagement. The adjustment mechanism itself may create problems:
threaded fittings on manual adjustment cables can corrode or be damaged, and the spring loaded systems
on semi-automatic adjusting cables can hang up. When replacing a clutch that utilizes a cable linkage,
these issues can be avoided by installing a new cable of the proper length that will allow for easy
adjustment as the clutch wears.
Our lineup of clutch cables is designed to exactly match the O.E. length and layout (including brackets where needed).
The end fittings are all new, with zinc plated adjustment hardware, allowing for easy clutch adjustment.
The hardware, brackets, grommets, and washers are designed to match the O.E. cable in terms of fit, form,
and function for quick installation.
