Description

Keep your automatic transmission's downshift linkage tied to the throttle with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Detent Cable CA-1981, a universal detent cable covering 28 to 48 inches. It is listed as a replacement for applications including the 1968-1973 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1972-1984 Chevrolet Impala, 1973-1984 Buick Regal, 1973-1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1975-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application list and engine details.

A detent cable connects the throttle linkage to the transmission's detent valve. This gives the transmission the signal it uses to downshift as the accelerator is pressed toward wide open. If a stretched, frayed or binding cable is behind a missing kickdown, this cable replaces it.

Made to OE specs: Pioneer builds its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, manufactured to OE specifications.
Steel inner cable: A durable steel core carries throttle movement to the transmission.
Polymer outer housing: The housing shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
Common hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends, depending on the application.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an automatic transmission detent cable do?

It links the throttle linkage to the transmission's detent valve. The transmission uses that signal to downshift when the accelerator is pressed toward wide open.

What length is the Pioneer CA-1981 detent cable?

Pioneer lists CA-1981 as a universal automatic transmission detent cable covering 28 to 48 inches. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm it is listed for your vehicle.

What are signs a detent cable may need replacing?

Possible signs include no kickdown when you floor the pedal, a frayed, stretched or binding cable, or a disconnected end. Have the cause diagnosed first, since other faults can cause similar symptoms.

How is the CA-1981 cable constructed?

It uses a steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing that protects the cable from corrosion and abrasion. It is manufactured to OE specs.

Does the CA-1981 come with brackets or grommets?

Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where applicable. What is supplied can vary by application.
