GM Detent (TV) Cable Feedback

I need to replace my TV cable on my 89 Caprice (200R4) and was wondering which make of cable to go with.
AC Delco, NAPA, AZ, The price range is only $18 - $27.

I was just curious if anyone has any feedback.

Also, do you have to drop the pan to replace?

If so, then i will have to salvage the royal purple i put in 3000 miles ago.

Can't complain though, pretty cheap repair all and all.

chances are, all of the above brands are made by the same overseas company and sold at different prices. Get the one that suits your budget.

Would an OEM cable be any better?

Re: GM Detent (TV) Cable Feedback

Does the pan need to be removed to install?

Never mind, just answered my own ?

Found it in the service manual.

It is done without having to drop the pan

Looks like a quick job, we'll see.
