Deffinetly reccomend OEM 1.6 cable I've been through 3-4autozone/advanced auto cables and they blew within 3months... I've had the 1.6 for over 6 months and never had to touch it.. Also have a stage 3 clutch the cables quite stealth.

It's slightly shorter and less stretching involved. This next cable I'm gonna grease first in hopes to prolong the life and resist the friction feeling I eventually feel.



^Do you have a pic of the 1.6 cable? I think I have one, but I'm not sure what the part # is. I'll post a pic and see if someone can confirm.

Mines an autozone cable, part # LRC258

Here it is layed out on my trunk lid. Use the vents in the window on the dash as a means to measure yours.....

Better yet, I just broke out a tape measure for you. The 1.6 cable is 30" in length, 2 1/2 ft. Otherwise it's the same exact thing as the 2.0 cable as far as I know.

The 1.6 is a pain to put on, my car at least. I have to use a prybar to hold th clutch lever back to be able to slip it on.

Why would you be using a 1.6 cable? I did the brass reducer to my friends car with a 2.0 cable and he has so much adjustment its amazing! It still has about half an inch of adjustment that we didnt even use.

Shorter so there's less adjustments for you to make so lasts longer. Not thicker. I got mines straight from the dealer it's rather cheap actually like 70$-80... Sooo worth it... Autozone ones suck

Go OEM my friend. I went thru 3 Napa clutch cables in a few months lol. I should have bought an OEM cable first.
