Installation Notes and Tips

Verify cable length, end style, and vehicle application before installation. Confirm that the transmission selector and shifter linkage are aligned correctly so the cable can transfer movement smoothly. Because fitment varies by model year, compare the existing cable routing and connection points on your Lincoln Mark VII or Lincoln Continental with the CA-1189 specifications before final assembly.
