They ensure the transmission of movements from the gear lever to the gearbox, allowing for smooth and precise gear shifting. In this guide, we provide all the necessary information to choose, install, and maintain your gearbox control cables.
What is a gearbox control cable?
A gearbox control cable is a mechanical element that connects the gear lever to the gearbox. It transmits the lever's movements, facilitating the gear shifting process.
The gearbox control cable is generally composed of two assembled cables or two separate cables: one for shifting gears and the other for gear selection. In some models, there may be a third cable intended for engaging reverse gear.

- Compatibility: Make sure the cable is compatible with your vehicle's make and model year.
