Reconnect your shift lever to the transmission with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Transmission Shift Cable, part number CA-8206. It carries each movement of the lever to the transmission's shift mechanism. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987 Dodge Caravan, 1987 Dodge Daytona and 1987 Chrysler LeBaron. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A shift cable that stretches, binds or breaks can cause hard or vague shifting, a loose-feeling shift lever, or trouble selecting some gears. These signs can also come from other parts of the linkage or the transmission, so diagnose the cause before replacing anything. If the cable is at fault, CA-8206 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Follow the vehicle service information for cable routing, attachment and any adjustment during installation.
