Detailed Product Description

The Pioneer Cables CA-317 clutch cable is engineered to meet the specifications required by Ford and Mercury manual transmission systems, particularly for the Capri and Taurus models. Featuring a steel wire core, this cable provides the necessary tensile strength to handle clutch engagement and disengagement without stretching or breaking. The polymer housing protects the inner cable from environmental factors such as moisture and dirt, reducing the risk of corrosion and premature wear. Both ends of the cable are equipped with barrel fittings, ensuring a secure and stable connection to the clutch pedal and transmission linkage. The fixed length of 30.5 inches (800.1 mm) is designed to match factory specifications, eliminating the need for adjustments during installation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or stretched clutch cables causing clutch slippage or difficulty shifting
• Restores proper clutch pedal feel and engagement in Ford Capri and Taurus manual transmissions
• Eliminates clutch cable breakage that can lead to loss of clutch control
• Prevents cable binding or sticking due to damaged outer housing
• Addresses issues with inconsistent clutch operation in Mercury manual transmission vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Pioneer Cables CA-317 clutch cable requires basic mechanical skills and tools. Ensure the vehicle is securely supported before beginning work. Remove the old clutch cable by detaching the barrel ends from the clutch pedal and transmission linkage. Compare the new cable length and end fittings to the original to confirm compatibility. Since this cable is non-adjustable, verify proper routing to avoid kinks or sharp bends that could impair function. Lubricate pivot points if necessary and test clutch pedal operation before completing installation.
