i don't quite remember but i think i saw in a magazine somewhere a place that sold clutch cables that came with a sheath on it. something that looks like a brake cable on a mountian bike.

can someone tell me who sells it? or am i just on drugs?

There are Dune buggy Cables with a teflon sheath for acc and maybe clutch but i dont think you would want to use one in a sedan.

I think the acc cable for FI beetles had a sheath on it, Geoff should know this one.

i'm really surprised that this product isn't more common. Now correct me if i'm wrong. I haven't really had a close look at my clutch tube yet, but from my understanding, the clutch cable is rubbing against the metal tube right? eventually it'll chew into the tube causing a gaping hole.

would a sheath/sleeve on the clutch cable solve this problem(if it is a problem)? or am i just paranoid induced by the drugs as mentioned beforehand? :wacko:

Its not so much the cable wearing through it. Its more of the cable causing the tube to brake free where its welded to the tunnel.
I don't think a cable with a sheeth would help.
