Does the standard transmission have a shift cable?
Yes, a standard transmission, also known as a manual transmission, has a shift cable that connects the gearshift lever in the passenger compartment to the transmission housing. This cable is used to select the desired gear when shifting gears. The shift cable is a flexible, steel cable that is housed in a protective conduit. It is attached to the gearshift lever at one end and to the transmission housing at the other end. When the driver moves the gearshift lever, the shift cable moves the transmission shift linkage, which in turn engages the desired gear. The shift cable is an essential part of the manual transmission, and it must be properly lubricated and maintained to ensure smooth and reliable shifting.
