Cable – GM (19338500)

This is a cable from GM, factory part number 19338500. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• A cable even a few millimetres short will not reach its bracket regardless of routing, so overall length is worth confirming before ordering.
• Adjustable rods and links are set to a reference length at the factory, and matching that length before fitting saves a lot of trial and error.
• Release and shift cables are directional. Fitted the wrong way round they usually still operate, but bind or fail early.

A cable that already feels stiff before fitting usually has a kinked conduit from storage, and forcing it will make the bind worse once installed. Where a diagram shows several similar items on one assembly, the difference between them is normally length, shoulder or handedness.

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. Ships from our US warehouse in one to two business days, free over $59.
