Porsche Manual Transmission Shift Cable - Genuine Porsche 98742404202

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 Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche 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 Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche 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.
