Funhoon Clutch Cable 54510-VR8-N00 64 INCH for Honda HRN216 VKA VKAA VLA VLAA VYA VYAA 54510VR8N00 Push Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers

What It Is

The Funhoon Clutch Cable 54510-VR8-N00 is a 64-inch replacement cable that engages and disengages the blade clutch on Honda HRN216 push walk-behind mowers. It’s designed for mowers with the blade control lever on the handlebar, allowing you to stop the blade without killing the engine.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact OEM equivalent: Replaces Honda part number 54510-VR8-N00 (also listed as 54510VR8N00).
• Mower models: Fits Honda HRN216 VKA, VKAA, VLA, VLAA, VYA, VYAA – check your model plate under the seat or on the frame deck.
• Deck size: Works with 21-inch and 22-inch decks on these HRN216 series mowers.
• Before buying: Measure your existing cable length (housing end to end). This is 64 inches total. If your cable is longer or shorter, it won’t route correctly. Also verify the cable end fittings match your lever and bracket – the Funhoon uses the same barrel and Z-end as Honda OEM.
• Aftermarket note: Funhoon is a third-party brand, not Honda genuine. It’s a direct fit but may have slightly different outer housing texture.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.5 stars from 403 reviews suggests reliable performance. Users report it feels close to OEM but has slightly stiffer action initially.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the handlebar cover and route the cable along the frame. A cable lubing tool helps if the action feels sticky.
• Common gotcha: The cable is pre-lubed but can bind if kinked during install. Avoid sharp bends near the engine bracket.
• Durability: Outer housing is PVC-coated steel; inner wire is galvanized. Expect 2-3 seasons with normal use, less in wet or salty conditions.

Should You Buy It

If your Honda HRN216’s blade clutch cable is frayed, stretched, or snapped, this is a solid budget-friendly replacement that matches OEM specs. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners who want a drop-in fix without paying Honda’s $35+ price. Not for commercial use or mowers outside the listed HRN216 sub-models.
