Gearshift Cables
- shift cable
- selector cable
Gearshift lever
Gearshift lever knob and boot
Transmission shift lever
Transmission selector lever

System Operation

The manual transmission is controlled by a floor-mounted gearshift lever located in the floor console. Connection between the floor-mounted gearshift lever and the manual transmission gearshift control assembly is made through 2 gearshift cables. When the operator moves the floor mounted gearshift lever, that movement is transmitted through 2 gearshift cables routed through the body to the transmission. The 2 gearshift cables are attached to the transmission at the gearshift control assembly. The gearshift control assembly transfers the movement of the gearshift cables to the shift rods and shift forks located inside the transmission. Removal and installation of the gearshift cables requires specific adjustments for correct shifting of the transmission.
