I have researched it a little and looks like there are two different cables depending on your Vin#. One for Vin#H and one for Vin#G. I am not sure on this and all the parts stores I have called have said they use the same one but online it shows different lengths for the two but that same part number at a differnet store is a different length. I dont know if it is just misinformation or what. But if anyone knows which cable I should use for a 1984 Pontiac Trans Am with the 8th vin digit G please let me know and if you know where to get the right one point me in that direction. Sorry for the long post hope I didnt confuse you as much as I am already.

I am not even sure it is the cable though I just know I replaced got it adjusted and it seemed to drive fairly well but not perfect acted as if it was shifting really late and didnt want to go into overdrive. Now it wont shift out of first gear at all so I dont know if the cable is bad or if the tranny is shot Im at a crossroads keep sinking money into it or just buy a good transmission and stick it in there. I have about drove myself nuts messing with the thing but I want my car back bad just not sure which way to go at this point any ideas are greatly appreciated. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Mar 18, 2013, 8:42 PM Post #4 of 4 (1822 views) Re: 84 Ponitac Trans Am Detent Cable Sign In Given the age of the car, it might be the best to have a trans shop diagnose it. They can do pressure checks on the ports of your trans to determine if it is worn out internally. You can pay them just for the diagnostic if you choose to decline the repairs they suggest, but they see this every day and have the tooling and know-how to pin this issue down to just an adjustment or an internal failure.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
