Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable P/N:CA-1261
Link the gear selector to the transmission with the Pioneer Automotive Industries automatic transmission shifter cable, part number CA-1291. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre and the 2000-2005 Pontiac Bonneville. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The shifter cable links the gear selector inside the cabin to the shift lever on the transmission, carrying each gear selection from the lever to the transmission. When the cable stretches, frays or breaks, the selector and the transmission can fall out of step.
Signs this part may need replacing: the gear indicator doesn't match the selected gear, the shift lever feels loose or sloppy, the lever is hard to move into or out of Park, or the shifter moves without changing gears. Worn linkage, bushings or selector parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable. If a failed shifter cable is the cause, CA-1291 replaces it.
What vehicles does the Pioneer CA-1291 fit?
It is listed for the 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre and the 2000-2005 Pontiac Bonneville. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

Does this shifter cable come with brackets or grommets?
