Clutch Cable

The OE Match Clutch Cable is an aftermarket replacement for the original cable-operated clutch system fitted to the six-cylinder Porsche 914/6.

Fits:

• Porsche 914/6 2.0 11/69-12/73

Designed to restore reliable clutch operation, it transfers movement from the clutch pedal to the gearbox release mechanism, helping maintain smooth gear selection and consistent pedal response.

For six-cylinder Porsche 914/6 models only. Standard four-cylinder Porsche 914 models use a different clutch cable.

What Does It Do?

The clutch cable connects the clutch pedal to the clutch release mechanism at the gearbox.

Pressing the pedal pulls the cable, operating the release mechanism and separating the clutch from the engine's power delivery. This allows the driver to change gear without transmitting engine torque through the gearbox.

Releasing the pedal allows the clutch to engage again.

Why Is It Important?

A correctly functioning clutch cable ensures the clutch disengages properly and provides predictable pedal movement.

A worn or incorrectly adjusted cable can make gear selection difficult, increase pedal effort and cause premature wear to associated clutch components.

Why Do Clutch Cables Fail?

Common causes include:

• Fraying or stretching of the inner cable
• Corrosion caused by moisture
• Wear from repeated clutch operation
• Damage to the cable housing
• Incorrect adjustment or routing

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended if you notice:

• Heavy, stiff or uneven clutch pedal movement
• Difficulty selecting gears
• Excessive clutch pedal free play
• A clutch pedal that does not return correctly 
• Visible fraying, corrosion or cable damage

A broken clutch cable can prevent the clutch from disengaging, making the vehicle difficult or impossible to drive.

Installation & Adjustment

Inspect the clutch pedal linkage, cable attachment points and gearbox release mechanism before fitting.

Route the replacement cable correctly and adjust the clutch pedal free play according to Porsche specifications.
