Chevrolet Traverse Shift Cable

Chevrolet Traverse Shift Cable allows the driver to shift the selector and immediately transfers the movement to the transmission to provide smooth and accurate gear changes. Earlier generations have applied solid linkage rods, but the midsize SUV features a flexible Shift Cable that snakes from the console mounted floor shifter to the transmission manual lever, saving cabin space while insulating vibration. The Shift Cable is applied to pull or push the lever through the familiar PRNDL range, with some help from a brake activated interlock that prevents movement out of Park until the pedal is pressed. When compared with the former rod setups, the cable requires no precise alignment of steel levers, which makes it easily fitted around other components, but it may stretch or break over years of heavy use, causing a sloppy feel or problems with gear selection. In recent model years, Chevrolet introduced electronic buttons and lockout switches to the Traverse shifter, but the main Shift Cable still carries the mechanical load. Keeping the Shift Cable intact retains the positive shift feel that performance oriented Traverse drivers are applied to from Chevrolet and enables quick and low cost replacement when there is wear.

Each OEM Chevrolet Traverse 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.
