Subaru Legacy Shift Cable

The Legacy Shift Cable from Subaru provides a direct and precise connection from the cabin shifter to the transmission, so gear selection is confident. The driver feels immediate response with every change. In the beginning, automatic versions applied a simple steel Shift Cable in accordance with industry practice, while manuals received twin rod linkages. When the Legacy line adopted front wheel drive layouts and then later all wheel drive, the engineers settled on a flexible, low friction Shift Cable that could snake through tighter spaces without binding. Modern designs employ the improved Shift Cable in conjunction with a safety interlock and handle push button, ensuring the engagement of Park, Reverse, and Drive is intentional. Sport-oriented Legacy manuals employ a Shift Cable that is shorter in length than that of the automatic routing, feeding directly into the transaxle rail. This provides for crisp shifts. A damaged Shift Cable can stretch or break, so you get a loose feel, missed gears, and inability to leave Park. Replacing it will restore factory precision within minutes and prevent more complex repairs. Subaru ownership is all about keeping things smooth, and continual inspection is vital to ensure everything is working properly. Choosing an exact fit unit ensures the original feel and character of the gate is retained from the factory for a spirited Subaru drive.
