Pioneer Automotive Industries Manual Transmission Shift Cable P/N:CA-8211
Keep the link between your shifter and gearbox working as it should with a replacement Cavalier shift cable: the Pioneer Automotive Industries Transmission Shift Cable CA-8017. It is listed for the 1982 and 1984-1985 Chevrolet Cavalier and for several other 1980s Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models. It is offered as a quality replacement alternative.
This manual transmission shift cable carries the movement of the shift lever to the transmission, so the gear you pick at the shifter is the gear the transmission is moved to. Signs a shift cable may need replacing include a loose or sloppy shifter, difficulty selecting one or more gears, or a shifter position that no longer lines up with the gear engaged. Other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
Fitment: 1981-1983 Buick Skylark, 1981-1983 Chevrolet Citation, 1981-1983 Oldsmobile Omega, 1981-1983 Pontiac Phoenix, 1982 and 1984-1986 Buick Skyhawk, 1982 and 1985 Cadillac Cimarron, 1982 and 1984-1985 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1982 and 1984-1985 Oldsmobile Firenza, and 1982 Pontiac J2000.
