Actually, the OEM GEMO clutch cables will last a long time as it is (they just go after awhile), & they're probably available closer to you at school for less coin on a student's budget.
Check & make sure that you have a good clean ground connection for the ground cable from the top of the transaxle to the underside of the trunk floor under there - I mean you need to unscrew, inspect & clean it. If some yahoo DAPO left it off, then you'll need to buy a new one & install it with clean nuts. Corrosion will be worse back there in salt, snow & rain country.
If the ground there is bad or missing, then your clutch cable becomes the ground & gets fried quickly, & is the usual cause for short clutch cable life.
For the parts numbers on all of these, see the free to download Porsche PET Parts Manual for the 914 which you can download for free as a pdf file from the Porsche website's Classics section under documents there.
BTW - in a pinch to get to a shop for repairs with a snapped clutch cable, you can go a short distance by turning off the motor at each stop, then restart in 3rd gear - ride the broncin' buck - then cruise in 3rd & try to avoid stops. Distance you can go will depend upon how good your battery is, how tough it is starting each time, & how many times you have to stop.
No major issue to fix these.
PS - Remember that $hit happens - enjoy the 914, & the gals will enjoy it & you too - assuming you're single, that's okay!
Good Luck & don't let this keep you from taking it to school in good weather!
