Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable P/N:CA-1261
Link your gear selector to the transmission with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1173.

The shifter cable carries each movement of the gear selector to the transmission's shift linkage. The position you choose at the lever is the range the transmission is asked to select.
Signs this part may need replacing: a gear selector that feels loose or binds, a gear indicator that no longer lines up with the gear the transmission is actually in, trouble moving into or out of Park, or a stretched, frayed or disconnected cable. Linkage adjustment, bushings or the selector assembly can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.
What does the CA-1173 shifter cable do?
