Pioneer Automotive CA-1918 Automatic Transmission Detent Cable

The Pioneer Automotive CA-1918 is a replacement automatic transmission detent cable, also known as a kickdown cable or passing gear cable. This cable links the throttle mechanism to the automatic transmission, signaling the unit to downshift into a lower gear under heavy acceleration — such as when passing on the highway or climbing steep grades.

Over time, detent cables can bind, fray, or become sluggish, leading to poor downshift response, sluggish acceleration at high RPM, or an inability to kick down at full throttle. Replacing a worn or damaged cable with the Pioneer CA-1918 restores proper automatic transmission operation.

Key Features:

• Manufactured to OE specifications for a direct-fit, drop-in replacement
• High tensile strength steel inner cable for long-lasting durability
• Protective polymer outer housing shields the cable from debris, corrosion, and abrasion
• May include cable ends, brackets, and grommets where applicable for a complete repair
• Cross-references OEM Toyota part number 3552012240
• Also cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 16775

The Pioneer CA-1918 is engineered to fit and function like the original factory cable, making installation straightforward and restoring reliable automatic transmission kickdown performance.
