Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable P/N:CA-1277
Keep the gear selector and the transmission working in step with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1224. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1984-1993 Ford Mustang, 1984-1986 Ford LTD and 1984-1986 Mercury Capri. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The shifter cable is the mechanical link between the gear selector you move in the cab and the shift lever on the automatic transmission. It carries each selection from Park through the drive ranges. Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative.
Signs a shifter cable may need replacing include a gear indicator that no longer lines up with the gear the transmission is in, a loose or sloppy shift lever, or trouble moving into or out of Park. If a stretched, frayed or binding cable is the cause, CA-1224 replaces it. After installation, adjust the cable according to the vehicle service information so the selector, the indicator and the transmission all agree.
