Saturn Ion Shift Cable
Saturn Ion Shift Cable lets the driver pick gears precisely by linking the center console shifter to the transmission with flexible steel strands enclosed in a protective sleeve. In early cars rigid linkage rods handled this job, but the Shift Cable layout applied in the Ion offers smoother travel across the familiar H gate on manual gearboxes or the PRNDL path on automatics, while isolating vibration and freeing cabin space. The Shift Cable carries lever motion to internal shift forks and sliders so gears lock firmly, a process that depends on correct tension because stretching or fraying can cause loose feel, missed shifts, or refusal to engage. Two main Shift Cable styles appear across the Saturn lineup, one calibrated for manual six speed patterns and another tuned for automatic range selection, differing mainly in stroke length, bracket location, and the need for a handle mounted release button on the automatic version. Both styles share wear points at bushings and clip connections, so installing a fresh Shift Cable restores the crisp action that keeps every Ion and every Saturn daily driver responsive.
Each OEM Saturn Ion 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.
Saturn Ion Shift Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install shift cables on Saturn ION?A:Disconnect the negative battery cable. Working inside the passenger compartment, lift up the shifter boot and remove the console. With the parking brake applied, position the shifter in Neutral for Getrag 5-speed models or 4th gear for MU3 5-speed models. Lift up the cable-retaining clips at the front of the shifter assembly and release the cable ends from the shifter. Remove the driver's side knee bolster. Raise the front of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the bolt securing the cables to the underbody, then lower the vehicle. Mark each cable end as to the arm it connects to, then pop the shift cable ends from the transaxle shift-arm, and twist the cables out of their mounting bracket. Pull back the carpeting and pull the cables through the grommet in the floor pan. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. At the transaxle, install the cables and attach the cable-to-underbody bolt. At the shifter on the floor, push in the U-shaped clip that locks the shifter in Neutral for Getrag 5-speed models. On MU3 5-speeds, lock the shifter in fourth gear with the locking clip on the shifter shaft, about an inch below the knob. After the cables have been attached to the arms on the shifter, the locking tabs can be snapped down at the front of the shifter to secure them. On either transaxle, return the locking clip to its original position. Check for proper shifting of the transaxle.
