Description
Product Overview
The MLWRID K65552 detent kickdown cable is a direct replacement for original equipment part numbers 25517212, 25509824, T54450A, and 25519347. Constructed with a high‑strength steel wire core, the cable offers superior tensile strength and resistance to fatigue, ensuring consistent detent operation over the life of the transmission. The outer conduit measures 45.2 inches, while the inner wire spans 52.4 inches, providing ample length for the 4L60, 4R, and 700R4 families. Machined aluminum housing adds rigidity and a precise fit within the transmission housing, reducing play and improving shift feel. Weighing only 4.8 ounces and packaged in a compact 11 × 9 × 1 inch box, the cable is lightweight yet built to endure the high‑temperature environment of automotive applications.
Usage
Designed for GM automatic transmissions built between 1982 and 1993, this cable is ideal for classic car restorations, performance upgrades, and routine maintenance. Whether you are rebuilding a 700R4 transmission in a vintage pickup or restoring a 4L60E in a late‑model sedan, the MLWRID cable provides the exact geometry required for proper kickdown operation. Installers benefit from the pre‑formed bends and clear labeling, which streamline the replacement process and minimize the risk of misrouting. The cable’s durability makes it suitable for daily driving, track use, and heavy‑load applications where reliable shift response is critical.
