Abstract
Shifting of manual transmissions by means of cables has been generally unsatisfactory until the last few years. Successful shifting systems have recently been developed, as a result of improvements in cable technology, installation techniques, and a “systems” approach to the problem. Benefits resulting from use of these new devices include better performance, cost and weight savings, reduced noise and vibration in the cab, and longer life with no maintenance required. Extensive laboratory and field testing, combined with several years of production, has proven the viability of the concept.
