Detailed Product Description

The Pioneer Cables CA-308 clutch cable is engineered to meet the specifications required by manual transmission systems in select Ford and Mercury vehicles. Featuring a steel wire core, the cable provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand repeated clutch actuation without stretching or breaking.
