Why It Matters
The Bowden tube guides and aligns the clutch cable from the rear of the chassis up to the transmission, so the correct year-specific tube matters for correct cable routing. We start with a genuine factory German tube and recondition it in-house for a proven part rather than a reproduction.
Installation Notes
Compare the new tube against the one you are pulling out, especially on a 1974 car.
