Detailed Product Description

The CA-1949 automatic transmission detent cable from Pioneer Cables is engineered to meet the specifications required by various Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles, including models such as the Charger, Aries, LeBaron, New Yorker, Rampage, Reliant, TC3, Town & Country, and Turismo 2.2. With a fixed length of 40.375 inches, this cable ensures proper engagement and shifting precision. The slotted clevis end allows for a secure mechanical connection, while the socket end provides a stable interface with the transmission linkage. This cable is not adjustable, which helps maintain consistent transmission detent positioning and reduces the risk of shifting issues.

Applications and Problem Resolution

This automatic transmission detent cable is used to maintain proper gear positioning and smooth shifting in compatible vehicles. It addresses several common transmission-related issues, including:

  • Inconsistent or slipping gear shifts in Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models
  • Transmission linkage wear causing poor detent engagement
  • Difficulty in selecting gears or gear sticking
  • Excessive play or looseness in transmission control cables
  • Replacement of worn or damaged detent cables to restore transmission function

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pioneer Cables CA-1949 detent cable, ensure the cable length matches the original part to maintain proper transmission operation. The slotted clevis end should be securely fastened to the transmission linkage, and the socket end connected firmly to the control arm. Since this cable is non-adjustable, verify alignment and fitment before final tightening. It is recommended to inspect related transmission linkage components for wear during installation to prevent future issues.
