Keep your gear selections reaching the transmission with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1281, a high-quality replacement built to OE specs. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2008 Ford F-150, 2008 Ford Explorer and 2005-2008 Ford F-250, and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The shifter cable links the gear selector to the transmission, so moving the shifter moves the transmission into the position you choose. When the original cable stretches, binds, frays or breaks, the selector and the transmission can fall out of step. If a worn cable is the cause of your shifting trouble, this replaces it.
- Built to OE specs: Pioneer manufactures its cables to OE specifications as an alternative to the original part.

Signs this part may need replacing include a gear indicator that no longer matches the selected gear, a shifter that feels loose or disconnected, or trouble moving into or out of park. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts.
