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 |

OK. My new 914-6 GEMO clutch cable arrived yesterday and I promptly removed the old one from my 1976-4. Have not yet installed the GEMO. It is marked "Made in Germany" so that is somewhat reassuring.
My "original" cable may not be original to my car as it does not have a plastic sheath for the cable portion that runs through the tunnel. Cables for the 914-4 should have this plastic sheath. I also found an NOS, 914-4 Cofle cable among my spare parts so I am including measurements for it, too. This cable does have the plastic sheath. The metal cable diameter for all three clutch cables is 0.11 in. The black sheath for the GEMO cable, including metal ends, is 1.12 in. shorter than the other two cables. Regarding overall length, the GEMO is 1.43 in. shorter than the removed cable and 2.43 in. shorter than the Cofle cable. |
