Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables CA-8018 is engineered for manual transmission selector applications where accurate cable travel is critical. The steel inner cable provides the strength needed for repeated shifting, while the polymer outer housing adds protection in underhood and underbody environments. This cable is a fitment-based replacement for 1982-1984 Buick Skylark, 1982-1983 Chevrolet Citation, 1984 Chevrolet Citation II, 1982-1983 Oldsmobile Omega, and 1982-1983 Pontiac Phoenix models with the listed seat and length configurations. If you are replacing a worn selector cable on a Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Citation, or Pontiac Phoenix, CA-8018 matches the specified OE-style application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
