How it works: The shifter cable carries the movement of the gear selector to the transmission's shift lever, so the gear you select is the position the transmission is placed in. Signs this part may need replacing include a loose or disconnected-feeling shifter, a gear indicator that doesn't match the actual gear, or trouble moving into or out of Park. If a stretched, binding or broken cable is the cause, this cable replaces it. Diagnose the problem first, since other shift linkage components can produce similar symptoms.
