Good To Know

Q: Does this cable require lubrication before installation? A: This cable features a low-friction sleeve and is pre-lubricated, so no additional grease is needed during the setup process.

Q: Is the mounting hardware included with this assembly? A: This assembly includes the handle and routed cable, but the existing mounting bracket screws must be reused to secure the handle under the dash.
