Keep your classic GM's automatic transmission linked to the throttle with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Detent Cable, part number CA-1955. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1977-1980 Buick Century, 1978-1980 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1978-1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and 1979-1980 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The detent cable connects the throttle linkage to the transmission. It signals when the pedal reaches the detent position so the transmission can deliver a forced downshift for passing. If a stretched, frayed or seized cable is behind a missing kickdown or poor shift response, this cable replaces it.
- Built to OE specs: Pioneer manufactures this cable to original-equipment specifications.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel core transfers throttle movement to the transmission.
- Polymer outer housing: Protects the cable from corrosion and abrasion.
- Hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them.
Signs this part may need replacing include no kickdown at wide-open throttle, a cable that binds or won't return, visible fraying, and a broken end. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other transmission issues can produce similar symptoms.
