Oscardt Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hello fellow Reatta lovers! I am in need of a Transmission Shift Control Cable (lower). The original GM Part number was 1638814. Does any one have a spare they are willing to sell? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The Riviera cables are the same BUT these cables are almost impossible to find in good condition. The problem is the plastic end, at the transmission, gets brittle and almost always breaks when taking it off the lever ball. I recently removed two. The first one broke when removing it. The second one I heated up to soften the plastic and it still broke. I did then remove a cable from a third parts car, with the lever still attached, and sent it out with the instructions NOT to take the cable off the lever but use the lever along with the cable. The customer gave the cable with my instructions to his GM dealer mechanic who did not follow the instructions and removed the cable from the lever and of course it broke. I am pretty sure I do have another good cable available and will come with the lever. Oscar, I will send you an email. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
