Trooker Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Have a look at this thread as there’s useful info that may help. It’s not just about 1.8’s. https://mantaclub.org/forums/topic/40172-1800-clutch-cable/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This is listed as 2.0 to 1988, not sure if it is right but it has the measurements on and a decent photo. https://scotts-classiccarspares.co.uk/opel-manta-b-16192078-88vauxhall-cavalier-mk178-81new-clutch-cable-1173-913-p.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldoradoCoupe Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hi Shaun, did you ever measure the clutch cable? I'm needing to order one myself to rebuild my car but unfortunately the original is missing so I don't have anything to measure. Appreciate it!

rutts Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Different inner lengths available. Check part number if original opel/vauxhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwilli Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just took off the old clutch cable.Total length was 136cm and 109cm for the housing.There are no markings on the cable so im not sure if its an original one.Just waiting on a used cable to fit for now until i can source a new one.Hope this helps.

eldoradoCoupe Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Perfect, thanks for sharing, that's a good start point, I'll probably do same as you and track down a used one. Seems there like hens teeth but I'll let you know if I find any new too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
