Any recommendations on which cable to purchase? The prices vary quite a bit . Terry cable, double braided, unlike standard cable which will snap all at once, double braided will snap a few strands at a time giving lots of warning, lasts much longer than standard cable, pricey though. |

Beware that the Terry cable maybe TOO long. Not sure if they have corrected that problem. If you go that route compare length BEFORE installation.

Beware that the Terry cable maybe TOO long. Not sure if they have corrected that problem. If you go that route compare length BEFORE installation. Terry cables also lack the cable sheath that runs inside the tunnel. Given the potential of the cable rubbing directly on the guide tube every time you step on the clutch along with the near impossibility of completely replacing the clutch tube I went back to using the stock design cables. Gemo, Colfe, OEM Porsche etc. |
