I've been using aftermarket stuff for about 10 years now as OEM ones are no longer available in this part of the world. I have had good luck with the "made in Italy for Volvo" ones, and I used one for 5 years before replacing it as a precaution. I've heard though (thru other 144 owners here), of aftermarket ones jamming up after just a few months of use, but its origin is not known.

I have tried retrofitting a hydraulic system from a 122, but unfortunately the pedal mods were a bit more complicated that I thought and gave up the idea.

I guess the clutch cable will just have to be a routine replacement item to avoid snapping at the most inconvenience places. Just like the routine change of timing belts on the newer Volvo motors..
