Which Clutch Cable

[Guest scrabster]

evening peeps,just got my clutch cable which was an escort mk2 as i thought it was and its only half the length of my broken one.as i dont have the original box i dont know the part number.the ends are correct but way to short.ive got a feeling it is the rs2000 can anyone confirm please.its a zero pedal to type9 box. my cable is 1225mm long,has anyone fitted a shorter one?

regards,jess.

Don't know if the Zero pedal is the same but my S7 originally had a std sierra cable passing through the exhaust and even though insulated suffered from the heat so I obtained a 4x4 one which is longer and bypasses the exhausts

Hi Jess, can't help on fitting lengths but burton power have a pretty good list http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-category/transmission-clutch-wheels/clutch-cables.html

If the original cable had a threaded outer at the gearbox end and two adjuster nuts then it could have been from a MK 2 Escort. Similar fixings were found on Cortina 4/5 ; Granada 2 and (I think) Capri 2. They were of differing lengths so you'll need to do your own research there.

Depending on quite a few things i.e. method of adjustment etc this can be a mine feild to the unwary so be carefull and if you find the correct one for your car buy 2 , I at present run a late non 4wd cosworth cable witch seems ok and has cured the prob of the cable getting fried by the exhaust ,it works on mine but would not gaurantee it on others mower man
