Further evidence of the dubious quality of aftermarket clutch cables, I think. 200 1986

I can't answer your question, but I can tell you that I have the same problem with my '86 244 DL. I only have to adjust mine once every 6 to 8 weeks, however, so I should consider myself lucky.

The original clutch cable in this car was replaced at 154K miles when I had a clutch job done due to a noisy pilot bearing. I've gone through two cables in the intervening 80K miles and have had adjustment issues with all three, including the VOLVO branded cable installed w/new clutch by a reputable indy Volvo garage. Both cables failed at the little "ball" (for lack of proper terminology) where the cable connects to the clutch pedal, not at the fork end.
