Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables CA-380 is engineered for 1992-1997 Geo Metro vehicles that use a manual transmission clutch cable in the listed configuration. The cable is manufactured to OE specifications and uses a durable steel inner wire inside a polymer outer jacket to help maintain smooth clutch engagement while protecting the cable from road splash, abrasion, and corrosion. If you are replacing a worn or stretched clutch cable on a Geo Metro, CA-380 provides a direct replacement path for the original application.

This part number, CA-380, is a practical match for service technicians and DIY repairs where the original cable has become difficult to operate or no longer maintains proper pedal response. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clutch pedal feels stiff or inconsistent
• Clutch engagement point changes due to cable stretch
• Frayed or corroded clutch cable construction
• Difficulty shifting caused by incomplete clutch release
• Loss of pedal response from a worn manual transmission cable

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1992-1997 Geo Metro before ordering, and confirm the listed length and end styles match the original cable. The fitment notes specify a 22.50-inch length and advise checking for a properly installed ground strap. Because this cable is non-adjustable, correct routing and proper installation are important for pedal operation. Compare the original part number CA-380 and the existing cable layout before installation.
