Link throttle input to your automatic transmission's downshift control with the Pioneer Automatic Transmission Detent Cable CA-2051. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1998 Mazda Protege with an automatic transmission. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

The detent cable links throttle movement to the transmission's detent (kickdown) control. That signal tells the transmission when to downshift as you press the accelerator further. Pioneer builds this cable as a high-quality replacement alternative:

  • Made to OE specs: manufactured to original-equipment specifications for the listed application.
  • Steel inner cable: a durable steel inner cable carries throttle movement to the transmission.
  • Polymer outer housing: shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.

Signs this cable may need replacing include:

  • a frayed, kinked or binding cable
  • no kickdown downshift when the pedal is pressed hard
  • shifts that feel late or harsh

Other faults can cause these symptoms, so diagnose the transmission before replacing parts. Consult the vehicle service information for correct cable routing and adjustment.
