Audi VW Manual Transmission Shift Cable (TT Beetle Golf) - Genuine VW Audi 1J0711266E

Product Information

The manual transmission shift cable connects the gear shifter inside the cabin to the transmission linkage, allowing smooth selection of gears. It transfers driver input from the shift lever to the transmission with precision and flexibility, ensuring proper engagement of each gear. Constructed from durable steel cable with protective sheathing, the shift cable is designed to withstand constant movement, tension, and heat while maintaining long-lasting reliability.

• Difficulty or stiffness when shifting gears – caused by cable wear, stretching, or binding.
• Inability to engage certain gears – indicates a stretched, frayed, or disconnected cable.
• Loose or sloppy shifter feel – results from excessive play in the shift cable assembly.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
