Selector Cable

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Land Rover LR4, 2012 Land Rover LR4, 2011 Land Rover LR4, and 2010 Land Rover LR4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The selector cable is used as a mechanical connection between the selector lever and the transmission. The cable is a Bowden cable. Movement of the selector lever between the P, R, N and D positions moves the cable. Movement of the cable is prevented when the selector lever is in the M/S position.

A seal is installed on the cable where it passes through the mounting plate. The outer cable is attached to a bracket on the transmission. The inner cable is connected to a lever attached to the transmission selector shaft.

Movement of the selector lever between the P, R, N and D positions moves the inner cable, which moves the lever. The lever transforms the linear movement of the cable into rotary movement of the selector shaft, which operates the P, R, N, D position switch and a spool valve in the Mechatronic valve block.
