LHD MG ZR 120 clutch cable

pletevl · 8th February 2019, 14:24

Hi all,

I know this isn't the correct place but I need your help.

My left hand drive ZR 120 (PG1 gearbox) needs a new clutch cable. They are no longer available. I've tried oiling it, but that only lastes a week.

Does anyone know of any other alternative ? I was thinking HONDA, seeing as the PG1 is a mirrored version of the HONDA box, maybe a RHD civic one might fit ?

Pete.

If its UUC101270 its showing up cross referenced to a TRW part on Ebay, how accurate not sure!

Hi. Is it a petrol 1.8 LHD? Looking at Rimmers gives me a part number UUC101270. Is this the part? If so there should be available as after market. https://www.euspares.co.uk/parts/oen/uuc101270 would this do?

Regards John

Yes that is the part number and I have already bought the A.B.S. one and the TRW one and they are both 20 cms too short.

Have you got the length of the cable that fits? Its a bit strange as the data for these cables shows the RHD about 203mm longer than the LHD. The data could be wrong. Have you checked the length of a RHD cable? UUC101260.

Is there a part number on the original cable?

Regards John

The original part number is UUC101270 which measures extremity to extremity of the inner cable 95cms
The TRW and ABS ones both measure 76 cms

I haven't measured the length of a rhd one.

Oh, thats the one. Good find. A bit more than i wanted to spend but if that's the only one out there and its new, then I will go for it.

Thanks John

John, I ordered that one from ebay, got it today, it's not what the ad says, he sent me the A.B.S. one that I already have. 200mm too short for the PG1 box. He appologized saying he forgot to change the photo. !!!
So I am back to square one :-(
