Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Detent Cable P/N:CA-1955
Help your automatic transmission downshift when you call for it with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Detent Cable, part number CA-1953. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1976-1977 Oldsmobile Omega, 1976-1977 Pontiac Firebird and 1977 Pontiac Grand LeMans. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The detent cable links the throttle to the transmission's detent mechanism. When you press the accelerator toward full throttle, the cable can signal the transmission to downshift.
This cable may need replacing if the transmission won't downshift when you floor the accelerator. Other signs are a frayed, kinked or stretched cable, or a cable that binds or has come loose at either end. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn detent cable is the cause, CA-1953 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for installation and any adjustment.
