ATP Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable P/N:Y-789
Get positive, predictable gear selection back with the ATP Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable (Y-1309) — a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Ford Explorer [All] and 1997-2005 Ford Ranger [All]. This transhift cable connects the transmission selector lever/shifter to the transmission linkage, translating your shift-lever movement into the range the transmission engages. Over time an original cable can bind, break, or turn sluggish — common signs this part may need replacing. If a worn cable is the cause, dropping in a fresh one restores a clean mechanical link between the shifter and the transmission.
Old cables that bind, break, or feel sluggish are the usual reasons to replace this transhift cable. Note: a broken or missing ground strap can cause a new cable to fail — ATP recommends replacing it with Pioneer part no. CA-756.
