EMPI Clutch Cable Shortening Kit (Heavy-Duty)
Standard clutch cables are often too long for custom-built Volkswagens, particularly those with shortened floor pans. This EMPI Clutch Cable Shortening Kit is engineered to handle the high-tension demands of the clutch system, allowing you to create a custom-length cable without the risk of slipping or cable failure.
Key Features:
-
High-Tension Security: Designed specifically with a robust, heavy-duty housing to grip the thicker steel strands of a clutch cable under heavy pedal pressure.
-
Builder's Essential: A mandatory component for shortened pan dune buggies, sand rails, and custom trikes where stock factory cable lengths are unusable.
-
Clean Termination: Provides a secure, professional-grade end point that prevents the cable from fraying or unraveling after it has been cut to size.
-
Universal Application: Works with standard air-cooled clutch cables, making it easy to adapt your linkage to any chassis configuration.

Part Number: 00-3168-0

Vehicle Application & Fitment
This is a universal "builder's part" designed for custom air-cooled Volkswagen applications. It is most frequently used on:
| Vehicle Type | Common Application |
| Dune Buggies & Sand Rails | Shortened floor pans or custom tube-chassis builds |
| VW Beetle & Baja Bug | Custom mid-engine conversions or modified pedal clusters |
| VW Karmann Ghia | Custom performance builds and chassis modifications |
| VW Type 2 (Bus) | Modified engine configurations or non-stock cable routing |
Tech Tip: Because a clutch cable is under significant mechanical load, ensure the cable is fully seated within the shortening block before tightening the hardware. For a permanent, "set-it-and-forget-it" installation, we recommend using a small drop of high-strength thread locker on the set screws once your final cable length has been verified.
