I am having trouble ordering the correct clutch for my 1985 245 diesel wagon with m46 tranny.

I ordered what I thought was the proper cable- but it wasn't. - it had the wrong pedal-end attachment on it.
My wagon has a sort of T shaped end molded onto the cable. The one I got was au shaped end that pivoted on the end of the cable.

My first cable, lasted the first two hundred thousand miles.
When that finally broke, i foolishly replaced it with a chepo isreali cable, which snapped in a month.

I returned to the auto zone to get a new cable, but the wrong one arrived.

What is the model difference in the two cable ends.
I am confused now.

Which modle year switched over to the T-shaped lead anchor?
Should I ask for a later model year to guarentee a proper cable.

I now must buy another cheapo till i order the proper one from volvo...
any help is well received...


thanks
