Factory part number 18033011: a cable supplied by GM. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• Superseded numbers are common, and where a factory number has been replaced the current part is usually dimensionally identical to the original.
• Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose.
• Torque figures belong to the fastener and the joint rather than to the part, so the factory procedure is the reference rather than a general rule.

Where a diagram shows several similar items on one assembly, the difference between them is normally length, shoulder or handedness. Release and shift cables are directional. Fitted the wrong way round they usually still operate, but bind or fail early.

The part number is the thing to verify. Where the old part carries no legible number, a VIN and a photograph are enough for us to identify it. In stock and sent from the US in one to two business days, free delivery over $59.
