What This Cable Helps Address

  • Worn, stretched, or binding cable movement
  • Corrosion or abrasion damage to the outer housing
  • Improper throttle-to-transmission linkage operation
  • Fitment issues caused by incorrect cable length or end style

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the required length, end configuration, and vehicle-specific notes before installation. This cable is adjustable, so final setup should be checked at the throttle and transmission linkage to confirm smooth travel and proper engagement. Compare the original routing and attachment points on Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Pontiac applications before service.
