Chevrolet Astro Shift Cable

A Shift Cable from a Chevrolet Astro provides a reliable link from the shifter in the cabin to the transmission so each gear change lands where it's supposed to. On early Astro models, the Shift Cable connected a column-mounted selector lever and the transmission manual lever, following the PRNDL gear shift pattern shared among the Chevrolet range. Later passenger vans that came with bucket seats changed to a floor shifter. However, even this arrangement applied the same flexible steel core and outer sheath to transmit motion. The Shift Cable always changes front-seat lever action into push or pull that moves the transmission range lever to lock Park, engage Reverse, and select Drive. This is accomplished without the excess play that old rod linkages on non-Chevrolet vehicles sometimes developed. Over years of frequent use, a Shift Cable can stretch, bend, or break. This makes for sloppy or even impossible engagement. A timely replacement restores that crisp feel in roughly an hour using common tools. The Chevrolet Astro continues to rely on this straightforward mechanical Shift Cable for dependable control rather than electronic shift-by-wire systems that are being applied in other places.

Each OEM Chevrolet Astro Shift Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
