Gearshift, manual (G5H) Transmission Shift unit and cables The shift unit essentially comprises a base housing, the moving gearshift lever and several detent and return mechanisms. The cables transmit the shift command and shift forces from the driver to the transmission. The two cables are the "shift cable" (for the gear selection) and the "selector cable" (for the gate selection). No adjustment work is necessary because the connec- tion pieces of the shift and selector cables compen- sate for component tolerances. The shift gate is designed as a double H shift. The splitter group switch (S24) at the front of the gear- shift lever shifts the splitter group in the 16-speed transmissions.

The connections at both ends of the cables are fitted with elastomer elements to decouple shocks and improve haptic feedback. The shift unit has 3 detents for the gearshift lever for "even gear", "odd gear" and "neutral". There are no detents for the gate selection. This attached return spring holds the lever in the default position (gate 3/4 or 5/6) or guides it back to this position. i Note The cables must be attached to the shift unit in a specified sequence; instructions can be found in the current WIS literature.
