Sierra Shift Cable Tool 18-9806E for MC-I, R-MR, Alpha One and Alpha One Gen II Drives, White

The Sierra 18-9806E Shift Cable Tool is a dedicated installation and removal tool for shift cables on MC-I, R-MR, Alpha One, and Alpha One Gen II drive units. Rather than attempting to install or remove a shift cable by hand or with improvised tools, this tool is purpose built to grip and drive the cable core through the drive housing, protecting the cable end and threads during the process. It is built to meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment part it replaces, and it is designed to be interchangeable with GLM 90110 and Mercruiser 91-12037, so shops and owners already familiar with those tool numbers can use the Sierra 18-9806E as a direct working equivalent.

The tool is finished in white for easy identification in a toolbox and is a compact, single-piece design with no assembly required. It ships as one item and is intended for repeat use across shift cable service jobs on the covered drive units, making it a practical addition to a marine technician's cable replacement kit or a boat owner's DIY toolbox for stern drive maintenance.
