Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables CA-166 is engineered as a replacement clutch cable for vehicles that require a manual transmission cable with a collar end on one side and a stud end on the other. The steel wire core provides the needed tensile strength for clutch actuation, while the polymer outer housing adds protection from road splash, dirt, and wear. This makes it a practical choice for restoring proper clutch pedal operation on Suzuki SX4, Suzuki Forenza, Suzuki Esteem, Suzuki Swift, Suzuki Sidekick, Suzuki X-90, Chevrolet Metro, and Geo Metro applications listed below.

This part number, CA-166, also supersedes CA-985 for the listed vehicles. It is a fitment-specific replacement, so matching the cable length and end style is important before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Clutch pedal that feels loose, uneven, or difficult to engage
• Worn or stretched clutch cable causing poor release or engagement
• Corrosion-related cable binding or rough pedal movement
• Broken cable strands that prevent normal clutch operation
• Incorrect replacement cable length or end style on manual transmission repairs
