Restore crisp, positive gear selection with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable CA-1256. This shift cable mechanically links your gear selector to the automatic transmission, transmitting lever movement so the transmission engages the gear you choose. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2005 Ford F-150 (All) and the 2004-2006 Ford Lobo (All).
Over time a worn or stretched shifter cable can make the gear indicator disagree with the actual gear, cause a loose or vague-feeling shifter, or make it hard to move out of Park. If a failed shifter cable is the cause of these symptoms, this replaces it; diagnose the shift system first, since other components can produce the same signs. Sold as a single cable (minimum order quantity 1).
