Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Detent Cable P/N:CA-1942
Keep your automatic transmission in step with the throttle with the Pioneer Automatic Transmission Detent Cable CA-1970. It is a replacement for the 1982-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1983-1987 Chevrolet Camaro, 1986-1990 Chevrolet Astro, 1987 Buick Century and 1988-1992 Chevrolet C1500, along with many other Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac applications.

The detent cable links the throttle to the automatic transmission so the transmission can respond to throttle position, including when a downshift is called for. Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, made to OE specs.
Signs this cable may need replacing include a frayed, kinked or binding cable, no kickdown downshift, or shifts that feel harsh or mistimed. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn detent cable is the source, CA-1970 replaces it.
