Cable – GM (18033570)

GM lists this cable under number 18033570. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• Linkage rods with threaded ends are adjusted for length, so thread engagement at each end matters as much as the overall dimension.
• Genuine parts are made to the drawing the vehicle was built from, so dimensions and materials match the part being removed rather than being close to it.
• The number stamped on the old part is the only reliable identifier, since two parts can look identical and differ by a millimetre or by rotation direction.

Release and shift cables are directional. Fitted the wrong way round they usually still operate, but bind or fail early. Where a cable operates a latch, the latch itself is often the real fault, so check that it moves freely before blaming the cable.

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. Leaves our US warehouse in one to two business days, and shipping is free over $59.
