Shift Linkage Replacement Cables

Most aftermarket cables available today have proven to be very poor quality. They also have little or no heat shielding. Heat is the single biggest factor in Fiero manual transmission cable failures. Over time heat makes the inner cable swell making the cable hard to move. Original GM cables had a very thick multilayer heat shielding wrap on them. Few if any GM cables are still available. I have these cables custom made for me and they are very good quality. Although my cables are very heat resistant they also (more importantly) have a similar multilayer heat shielding wrap on them. My cables offer several other advantages. See notes below.

Features:

Black sheathing just like OEM.
OEM style heavy duty insulation.

Note: The select cable is the one that provides the side to side motion of the gear shift. These cables are sold by a few others but mine have a few notable differences:

If you buy this cable from someone else it will have a very thin paper thick heat shielding on it. The reason cables fail in time is from heat soak (exhaust pipes, coolant tubes and hoses and engine heat). My cables have a very heavy multi-layer aluminum skinned ceramic blanket like OEM cables. This ensures a long cable life. Factory cables have a thick heat shielding on them for a reason. Long life.

My cables are adjusted to the correct length. Others advertise that they are adjustable and expect that you will make them the correct length after you receive them. I adjust my cables and tighten the lock nuts before I ship them. Mine are ready to install. No guess work involved.

All my cables include a new chrome plated ball stud. My competitors expect you to use the old rusty and worn (most likely now undersize) ball stud from your old cable. This will leave you will looseness on that end of the cable.

You will need to reuse your original rubber firewall grommet. To remove it from your old cable take a razor knife and cut in to it up the old cable sheathing (halfway into the rubber grommet). Reinstall the rubber firewall grommet on the new cable.
