Clutch Cable: Notes

There are three types of clutch cables: In 356, 912 and 911 models prior to 1970, cable housing is fixed and does not move. Each end of clutch cable has a clevis and adjuster. On 911 models from 1970 onward, clutch cable is attached to clutch pedal and transmission housing. At clutch end of cable housing, an adjuster with a pair of dogs engages clutch release lever. Opposite end of housing is rigidly attached to center tunnel rear panel. When clutch is depressed, housing moves clutch release lever (see Figure). On 914 and 914/6 models, cable is attached to lever arm and clutch pedal. At clutch end, cable runs around a pulley to reverse direction of cable pull.
