Throttle Cable, for Type 2 Bus 75-79

Overview

When it comes to the drivability of your classic 1975 to 1979 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus, nothing is more critical than a crisp, responsive throttle. Over decades of use, original factory cables stretch, fray, and accumulate internal grit, leading to a sticky pedal feel or, worse, a complete snap that leaves you stranded on the shoulder. This EMPI premium throttle cable is engineered specifically for the late Bay Window models, ensuring that the connection between your right foot and the engine''s intake system is as precise as the day it rolled off the assembly line. Whether you are running the original Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system or have converted to a dual-carburetor setup, this cable provides the necessary length and tensile strength to handle the unique geometry of the late Bus engine bay.

Constructed from high-grade multi-strand steel wire, this throttle cable is designed to withstand the extreme heat and constant vibration inherent in the air-cooled Volkswagen environment. The late 1970s Transporters require a specific length that differs significantly from earlier models, and this 211-721-555AA replacement is manufactured to exact OEM specifications to ensure a hassle-free installation. Investing in a high-quality EMPI cable means you won''t have to worry about the "creep" or stretching that often plagues inferior, generic hardware. At Appletree Automotive, we understand that a Bus is more than just a vehicleit''s a lifestyleand keeping your throttle linkage smooth is the best way to ensure your next road trip is defined by the scenery, not by mechanical failures.
