Porsche 356B Clutch Cable Clevis Pins

Porsche 356B Clutch cable clevis pins

Starting at $1.95, AutoBuffy stocks 1 clutch cable clevis pins from URO. The clevis pin is a small but critical fastener that connects the clutch cable end to the clutch pedal arm or release fork linkage. When it wears, bends, or falls out, the cable can't transfer pedal force to the clutch, leaving you unable to disengage the gearbox.

Signs your Porsche 356B needs a new clutch cable clevis pin

  • Clutch pedal feels loose or has excessive free play that appeared suddenly
  • Clutch pedal drops to the floor with no resistance and won't return
  • Audible clunking or knocking from the pedal box when pressing or releasing the clutch
  • Clutch engagement point is inconsistent or jumps between pedal strokes
  • Visible side-to-side wobble of the cable end at the pedal arm during operation
  • Cable end or clevis visibly separated, bent, or missing its retaining clip

Which clutch cable clevis pin should you buy for your Porsche 356B?

Clevis pins for clutch cables are sized by diameter and shank length, so fitment accuracy matters more than brand reputation here. The main decisions are material grade, whether a retaining clip is included, and whether you need a single pin or a kit that also covers the cable adjuster end. Confirm both the pin diameter and the clevis fork width on your Porsche 356B before ordering.

Replacing a clutch cable clevis pin on a Porsche 356B

Easy⏱ 30–60 minutesNeedle-nose pliers (for removing retaining clip)Punch or drift pinHammerFlathead screwdriverPenetrating oil (if pin is corroded)

Remove the old retaining clip with needle-nose pliers, then tap or push the worn clevis pin out of the pedal arm or release fork using a punch. Slide the new pin through the aligned clevis fork and arm holes, then secure it immediately with the new retaining clip to prevent it from backing out. No torque spec applies — correct fitment is confirmed by zero lateral movement of the pin and a fully seated clip.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace clutch cable clevis pins on a Porsche 356B?
The pin itself starts at $1.95 on AutoBuffy. Labor is minimal — most technicians charge less than one hour of shop time for this job because the pin is accessible without lifting the vehicle. Total out-of-pocket cost stays low unless the clutch cable or pedal arm bushing also needs replacement at the same time.
Can I drive my Porsche 356B with a broken or missing clutch cable clevis pin?
No. Without the clevis pin, the clutch cable is disconnected from the pedal and the clutch cannot be disengaged. You will be unable to shift gears safely. Driving in this condition risks transmission damage and creates a serious safety hazard. Replace the pin before moving the vehicle.
How do I know if my Porsche 356B has the right clevis pin size?
Measure the inner width of the clevis fork on your cable end and the diameter of the hole in the pedal arm. The pin shank must match both dimensions without slop. Cross-reference your Porsche 356B year range and trim with the 1960–1963 application guide on AutoBuffy, or bring the old pin in for a direct match.
Does the retaining clip matter, or can I reuse the old one on my Porsche 356B?
The retaining clip — typically a cotter pin or hairpin clip — is the only thing preventing the clevis pin from backing out under vibration. Reusing a deformed or corroded clip is a common cause of repeat failures. Always install a new clip when replacing the pin; most quality replacements include one.
How long does a clutch cable clevis pin last on a Porsche 356B?
A properly installed steel clevis pin can last the life of the clutch cable with no issues. Premature failure is almost always caused by a missing retaining clip that allows the pin to migrate out, by corrosion in neglected linkages, or by side-load stress from a misaligned cable routing. Inspect it whenever you replace the clutch cable.
Is replacing a clutch cable clevis pin on a Porsche 356B a DIY job?
Yes, for most drivers with basic tools. The pin is located at the clutch pedal arm inside the cabin or at the cable-to-fork connection in the engine bay — both are accessible without special equipment. The job typically takes under an hour. Difficulty increases slightly if corrosion has seized the old pin in place.
