You're right David, I was anticipating someone would point out that the link showed auto trans *throttle cable* but not Shift Cables. thanks for catching that.

if the quality of the 25 dollar one is decent, might go with that.

That is an accelerator cable. The cable I mean is inside the shifter mechanism, the hand-operated lever for shifting the automatic transmission. Its not the same thing is it?

No, they just don't know where to look. We carry an OEM German cable for $25.
