F Cable – GM (42823060)

This is a f cable from GM, factory part number 42823060. 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.

Keeping the old part until the new one is fitted and checked is the simplest way to avoid a second order. 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.
