VW Bus Clutch Cables
Removing and installing a VW Bus clutch cable is a job often within the capabilities of the Bus owner. There are quite a few good videos that you can do a search on which will show you how the VW Bus cable is removed and how the new cable is installed. We have a DVD with a full hour of instruction on complete clutch system overhaul and it includes the motor removal and all aspects of VW Bus and all air cooled VW clutch service.

Testing the Bus clutch cable: You will know when your clutch pedal gives you an "uh-oh", signalling difficulty. The problem, more often than not is just the clutch cable itself. You can remove the clutch cable and examine for signs of wear. If the clutch cable looks fine then lubricate it and replace the cable. If the cable is rusty, worn, etc. then replace the cable.

Clutch Cable Sleeves and Other Clutch Parts
When removing and replacing a VW clutch cable, additional hardware and parts are suggested, though often the old clutch cable sleeve and other parts, such as the clutch operating shaft and other clutch parts can be re-used. In the event your Bus requires replacement clutch parts, such as the clutch pressure plates, clutch cable boot (usually it is advisable when replacing a clutch cable to also replace the clutch boot and the clutch cable adjusting wing nut.

Deeper Clutch Restoration Work
We show a category "DVDs" which includes the complete clutch restoration work in an hour of clutch pictures, techniques etc. Also the chapter on clutch work in the wonderful classic: "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" is a must for any VW Bus owner.
