Oldsmobile Omega Shift Cable
The Oldsmobile Omega Shift Cable provides a reliable connection between the shifter in your cockpit and the transmission, allowing for quick gear selection. The Shift Cable is a steel core working inside a protective sheath that actuates the transmission manual lever or shift rails for each pull of the gear handle, giving the driver positive engagement without the need for bulky linkage rods. The original Oldsmobile applied solid external rods, but later Oldsmobile Omega models introduced the flexible Shift Cable because it saved space and isolated vibration. The flexible cable was introduced for floor-mounted manual sticks and automatic PRNDL selectors. Manual versions typically use twin Shift Cable systems that follow the familiar H pattern, while automatic versions use a single selector cable paired with spring loaded detents and a button actuated handle that blocks accidental shifts. Both designs share several of the same concerns, primarily stretching, bending or fraying that develops a sloppy feel or fails to reach the chosen gear. However, swapping in a fresh new Shift Cable will make it feel crisp once more within a matter of minutes and with only the greatly simple of tools. Owners of Oldsmobile depend on this uncomplicated product to keep their Omega transmissions in good working order.
Each OEM Oldsmobile Omega 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.
Oldsmobile Omega Shift Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to disconnect the negative battery cable and adjust the shift cable on 1981 and later Oldsmobile Omega?A:To disconnect the negative battery cable, shift the transaxle into 1st gear. Then, raise the front of the car and support it on jackstands. Working under the car, loosen the shift cable attaching nuts at the transaxle levers. Move to the interior of the car and remove the console trim plate, sliding the shifter boot up the shifter. Install a yoke clip between the tower and carrier at the base of the shifter, and insert a 5/32 inch or number 22 drill bit into the alignment hole at the side of the shifter assembly. Rotate the transaxle lever and tighten the attaching nut to remove slack from the cable. Tighten the attaching nut on the transaxle, then remove the drill bit and clip from the shifter assembly. Reinstall the shifter boot and console trim plate, and reconnect the negative battery cable. After adjustment, lower the car to the ground and road test, checking for a good neutral gate feel during shifting. If necessary, finer adjustments can be made after road testing.
