B13 1.6 and 2.0 have been superceded to the same cable.

Shown organized a couple different ways to highlight the differences.

Weird! When my 99 B14 cable snapped I replaced it with a B14 1.6L (was cheaper too), it was a lot shorter and was ultra fun trying to get it to fit, but I guess Nissan switched to using the same cable.

Broke my cable on my way home from work once but I was lucky enough not to be in bumper to bumper traffic so I just drove home without it matching revs to shift up and down.

Mine ripped the day I totaled my wife's car, had to borrow my parent's spare car for a week until new cable came in.. ftl

I am glad to never have to worry about cables though, P11 hydraulic ballerness FTW

this is boomstickracing not lynchfourtwenty!!!


with all the cables i've gone through in the last 2 years and learning more about the way it failed every time....in my opinion the cable loses it's lubrication so as it's moving through the fire wall it has to work harder and harder with every single movement of the clutch.....making the ends give out.

the oem cable in my car now starts making the horrible noise like it's trying to cut the firewall every time i use the clutch every couple months and i just spray the cable just as it comes out of the firewall in the engine bay with wd-40 wile some one works the clutch pedal.....all the previous cables lasted a few months if i was lucky....most were snapped in weeks....now using the method above the oem cable from a junk yard has lasted almost a year.
