Self-Adjusting Clutch Cable - Revised

Subject:

Revised self-adjusting clutch cable

Model(s): Jetta

1989-90 m.y.

Group:

30

Number:

90-02

Date:

August 31, 1990

Beginning in 1989 m.y., self-adjusting clutch cables were revised to include a sheath (arrow). The self-adjusting cable mechanism cannot be
disassembled.

The revised clutch cable with sheath cannot be compressed with 3151 during removal/installation as with previous self-adjusting clutch cables. When
replacing a clutch cable, the strap that is supplied with the new cable can be left on after installation for future use.

If a production-installed cable needs to be removed/installed, a retaining strap must be cut from a replacement cable and used to compress the spring.
