The Shift Cable gives Nissan Sentra drivers the direct, reliable connection that turns lever movement into a gear change. The early models of Sentra followed the trends in the industry which relied on rigidity. Consequently, there were arms that were solidly bolted to the transmission and the likes. However, since front wheel drive packaging was in play, the designers were forced to adopt a more flexible Shift Cable. It is one that runs easily through the tight spaces and also limits cabin vibration. Over the years, the Nissan brand improved materials to resist wear. The cable contains a sliding core whereby movement originating from the floor or column shifter transmits easily to the manual lever residing on the transaxle, locking in selected gears in the box. Automatic versions use a similar Shift Cable to position the PRNDL arm. In addition, detent buttons and interlock switches prevent the lever from slipping. Over time, a Shift Cable can stretch, bend, or break because it is one of the frequently moved parts in the car, causing a loose feel, missed gears, or failure to shift at all. Subsequent generations of the Sentra have started adopting by-wire electronic shifting systems which replace the traditional mechanical Shift Cable with an arrangement of motors and sensors. This frees up interior space while still retaining quick gear shifts, a change many loyal Nissan drivers welcome.
