What is the Function of a Gear Select Cable?

Gear select cables are engineered to ensure the precise position of the gear lever corresponds to the correct gear ratio. This delivers a smooth shift during transmission operation, offering a safe gear change. Most manual transmissions come fitted with two gear select cables for vertical and horizontal movements of the gear lever into the gearbox. 

Gear select cables are designed to be long-lasting and hard-wearing; however, they will wear eventually. The continuous tension on the gear cables puts them under tremendous stress, which causes them to eventually stretch, fray, and in worst-case scenarios, completely break. these gear select cables must be replaced immediately.
