Clutch Cable Bowden Tube, Type 1 '72 & '73, T2 '68 to '79

This is the protective tube that prevents your clutch cable from rubbing on the transaxle and fraying.  When changing your clutch cable, be sure to check your bowden tube.  If kinked or worn, it will rub through your new cable and cause it to bind and break again.  Replace it at first sign of wear.
