Link your gear selector to the transmission with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1261, a replacement cable built to OE specifications with a durable steel inner cable and a protective polymer outer housing. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1998-1999 Ford F-250 and 2000-2002 Ford Expedition, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The shifter cable links the gear selector to the transmission, so each lever position is passed on to the transmission. When a cable stretches, frays or breaks, the selector may feel loose, the gear indicator may not match the gear the transmission is actually in, or the lever may be hard to move. If a worn cable is the cause, CA-1261 replaces it. Diagnose the problem before replacing parts, and follow the vehicle service information for routing and cable adjustment during installation.
