Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable P/N:CA-1277
Keep your gear selector and transmission working together with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1231. It is a replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The shifter cable links the gear selector inside the cabin to the transmission. It carries each movement of the shifter to the transmission's shift linkage. If the cable stretches, binds or breaks, the transmission may no longer follow the position you select.
Signs a shifter cable may need replacing: These include a gear indicator that doesn't match the selected gear, a loose or sloppy shift lever, difficulty moving in or out of Park, and a transmission that doesn't engage the selected gear. Other problems can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the original shift cable is the cause, CA-1231 replaces it.
