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.

Specifications:

  • Part Number: 00-3168-0

  • Cable Type: Clutch Only (Heavy-Duty)

  • Sold As: Individual Kit

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.
