Title: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: 106usj on November 05, 2009, 10:27:27 PM SORRY for all the questions guys.
Im starting to build up a spares collection. Will a clutch cable for a 131 s 75-84 be ok for my sport ?. I assume the 131 s means special not sport.?. Ordering and finding parts when not an expert can be awkward sometimes as you have 1.3 1.6 2.0 2.0 diesel OHV DOHC etc. Thanks. MacL....

Title: Re: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: sid131 on November 08, 2009, 05:36:54 PM not sure about this but as far as i remember there are cables with a ball on the clutch end & ones with a bolt screw for adjustment ??? ??? ???
Title: Re: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: david on November 08, 2009, 05:48:28 PM Only one I have seen on 131s Nick is a plastic ball end with 17mm head and a 10mm lock nut but thats on mk2 & mk3 cant comment on mk1 versions
Title: Re: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: 106usj on November 08, 2009, 07:00:22 PM Dont want to go on about this one but would like to know what the S in 131 S stands for when ordering or looking for parts is it special or sport ?.
It must be wrong one i have if Daves clutch cable measures 1935mm and this one is 1630mm. Title: Re: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: mirafioriman on November 08, 2009, 07:19:38 PM The S stands for special which was a series 1 model. Looking at the photo you posted I don't think it will fit a sport as the clutch end of the cable is the wrong design.
As far as I know all the cables for series 2 and 3 cars with the five speed box had the threaded end described earlier. Simon and a few others have series 1 131s on here. Sell it to one of them as a spare ;D Title: Re: Clutch cable 131 s 75-84 Post by: david on November 08, 2009, 08:52:33 PM That cable in the picture definately is not for a sport or any mk2 or mk3 but the pedal end is the same so it must be mk1 ?
