Lexus ES350 Shift Cable

The Lexus ES350 Shift Cable lets the driver directly and reliably control the automatic gear selector, connecting the console lever to the transmission such that each gear range engages cleanly. Built as a flexible steel cable sheathed in durable housing, the Shift Cable converts the movement of the buttons or handles inside the cabin to the exact movement at the transmission manual lever, according to the familiar PRNDL setting, while collaborating with a brake pedal interlock for safety. Earlier ES350 models were based on a purely mechanical Shift Cable, but later models still followed the same layout and included sensors to enable other functionality such as overdrive lockout or manual shift buttons, and to decrease the likelihood of accidental shifts. Owners love the build quality of Lexus, but the ES350 is no exception to a good car and even a Lexus Shift Cable can go bad, becoming slack, loose, or missing ranges. A fresh, well-lubricated Shift Cable brings back crisp changes and conserves the smooth, quiet reputation of Lexus ES350 sedans. Timely inspection makes the Lexus ES350 shifter feel factory fresh.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus ES350 Shift Cable available on LexusPartsNow.com. Our OEM Lexus ES350 Shift Cable come with the reassurance of the manufacturer's warranty, a hassle-free return policy, and speedy delivery service, all at affordable prices online.
