Description

Keep your automatic transmission's shifts in step with the throttle using the Pioneer Automatic Transmission Detent Cable CA-2021. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1986 Nissan Sentra and 1984-1986 Nissan Tsuru. The cable links throttle movement to the transmission so shift timing and kickdown downshifts can respond to how far the throttle is opened.

Built to OE specs: Pioneer manufactures this cable to OE specifications as a high-quality replacement alternative.
Durable steel inner cable: A steel core transmits throttle movement to the transmission.
Polymer outer housing: The housing shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.

Signs this part may need replacing: delayed or harsh upshifts, no downshift when you press the pedal to pass, or a cable that is frayed, kinked, stretched, binding, or loose at its end. These symptoms can also come from other transmission or linkage problems, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.

Fitment: 1983-1986 Nissan Sentra; 1984-1986 Nissan Tsuru. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
