Need to replace the clutch cable on my 1976 4-cyl car.
Have read that the 914-6 cable is a little more substantial than the 914-4 cable and that the 6-cyl cable will work on 4-cyl cars. Anyone have any experience with this? Also, among the aftermarket replacement suppliers like Cofle, Gemo and Terry, are there big differences in quality? Thank you |

Thanks again to everyone who responded.
Installed my new 914-6 GEMO cable in my 914-4 car this week. No particular problems except the overall length was close to being a bit too short. If I had it to do over again I would figure out a way to pre-stretch it before installation. I installed the 11 mm nylon lock nut at the shift fork so that the cable end was flush with the top of the nut and held my breath. Got the car out today and the transmission shifts smoothly and the clutch disengages in the correct zone of pedal travel. As the cable stretches out I will tighten the nut and expose more threads. Eventually I'll add another nut like was there before. |
