1. Product Description
The A.B.S. Clutch Cable (K28600) is a high-grade mechanical control linkage component engineered by the European automotive specialist A.B.S. (All Brake System). This assembly links the foot pedal directly to the transmission release system in manual gearboxes. Featuring a high-tensile, multi-strand braided steel inner wire housed within a low-friction, multi-layered protective outer sleeve, it is designed to resist stretching, binding, and moisture intrusion. This specific cable configuration is a manual mechanical adjustment design (non-automatic), providing traditional tactile pedal feedback and immediate clutch fork engagement response.
