Pioneer Cables CA-317 Clutch Cable

The Pioneer Cables CA-317 clutch cable is a direct replacement manual transmission cable built to OE specifications. It uses a steel wire inner cable with a polymer outer housing to help resist corrosion and abrasion in daily driving conditions.

Compatible with select Ford Taurus and Mercury Capri manual transmission applications, this cable is a fitment-specific replacement for vehicles that require the listed 30.5-inch length and barrel-style ends. Pioneer Cables CA-317 is a practical choice when restoring clutch pedal feel and cable operation on the correct application.

Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables CA-317 is engineered as a replacement clutch cable for manual transmission components where the original cable has stretched, frayed, or lost smooth pedal response. The steel wire core and polymer housing are selected to match OE-style construction and help maintain reliable clutch linkage movement. This part number, CA-317, is listed for 1986-1995 Ford Taurus and 1983 Mercury Capri applications with the specified cable length and ground strap note.

This part cross-references Delphi TC1098 and Continental 62315 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clutch pedal effort that feels uneven or inconsistent
• Frayed, stretched, or binding clutch cable operation
• Loss of proper clutch release on manual transmission vehicles
• Noise or rough movement caused by worn cable routing or housing wear
• Replacement needs for a damaged OE-style cable on Ford Taurus or Mercury Capri

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle uses the listed 30.5-inch cable length before installation.
• Check for a properly installed ground strap on the vehicle, as noted in the fitment data.
• Confirm barrel-style ends match the original cable connection points.
• Inspect cable routing, brackets, and pedal linkage for wear before installing the new cable.
• Because this cable is non-adjustable, correct fitment is important for proper clutch operation.
