111-721-335EGR German VW Beetle Clutch Cable (2270mm)50-60, 74-79

VW Clutch Cable (German Quality) – 111-721-335EGR

The 111-721-335EGR is a premium, German-manufactured clutch cable designed for specific year ranges of the Type 1 chassis. Measuring 2270mm in length, this cable provides the mechanical link between your clutch pedal and the transmission operating shaft. Because the clutch system is under constant high tension, using a German-made "GR" cable is essential for maintaining a consistent pedal feel and preventing sudden cable failure.

This cable is constructed from high-tensile, multi-strand steel wire with a zinc coating to resist the corrosion that often occurs within the chassis guide tubes. The precise 2270mm length ensures that you have enough threaded adjustment at the wing nut to set your pedal free-play correctly, a common issue with lower-quality cables that are often slightly off in length.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the Bowden Tube: When replacing the cable, always inspect the flexible Bowden tube at the transmission. It must have a slight sag to prevent chatter and ensure smooth engagement.

• Lubrication: Generously coat the cable with molybdenum grease or heavy-duty chassis grease before sliding it into the tunnel guide tube.

• Set Your Free-Play: After installation, adjust the wing nut to achieve approximately 10mm to 20mm of free-play at the top of the clutch pedal stroke.

• Carry a Spare: Clutch cables are a common roadside failure point; keeping a spare in your trunk is a wise precaution for long trips.
