Hello Guys,

I am thousands of miles away in England and I managed to find an imported Third Gen. I urgently need to know what the correct TV/Detent/Kickdown Cable is for my car. If I order wrong I am screwed as the Shipping is so expensive!

STOCK 1987 CAMARO IROC-Z 305 TPI with a 700r4 Trans.
VIN 1G1FP21F1HN111538

What is the correct part number and the correct length specified? I keep finding AC25521263 but it says 61"!!

Please see picture below. Its been repaired badly!!

I seem to recall a thread where someone went through the trouble of comparing TV cable P/N's and lengths.

Here's one thread:

Here's the length comparison:

I hope these links are of some help.

I wouldn't drive the car until you get your cable sorted out.

Thanks for your reply.

So the cable should be 25521263 at 61"?

what does (5.0F), CODED OD mean? It seems to state this on all the ebay/amazon listings

Great thanks I would be interested if it is correct for my car. Which one do you have? Can you confirm which is the correct cable?

It's a b&m part or tci. Forgot. Universal tv canle. You can change the length of the cable utself. It has an adjuster that lets you extend or shorten the sleeve. It's basically 2 canles slid into each other. As long as you adjust the sleeve to an appropriate length from trans to tv bracket you can lock it down and then adjust the pull cable. The stock ones are not available or at least I couldn't find one. Had a spare but swapping in a t56 so won't need it

If all that is broken is that little plastic clip , you do know that for around $2 there is a replacement that fits right on and you won't have to replace the cable ?

This site calls it "#8XX. 700R4 top throttle valve cable repair end"

Good luck .

I thought about that and tried to fix. The cable is trashed inside and sticks I can see its rusted. Needs chucking out. The adjuster keeps pulling out the housing too

Hope my trans isnt burnt now.
