Detailed Description

This Pioneer Cables CA-8025 manual transmission shift cable is made for 1980 Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Citation, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Phoenix, as well as 1981 Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Citation, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Phoenix applications with the noted selector cable configuration. The cable length is 52.36 inches, and the 1981 applications note a first design with bosses cast into the transmission and an attaching clevis. Built to OE specifications, CA-8025 provides a direct-fit replacement path for restoring proper shift linkage operation in these manual transmission setups.

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

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Broken or frayed shift cable
• Stiff or inconsistent gear selection
• Corrosion damage to the cable housing
• Excessive wear at the cable ends or attachment points
• Loss of proper selector movement in the transmission linkage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and selector cable configuration before installation. Confirm the 52.36-inch length and, for 1981 applications, check for the first-design transmission bosses and attaching clevis noted in the fitment data. Inspect related brackets, grommets, and linkage points for wear so the replacement cable can move freely after installation.
