The Shift Cable of the Nissan Altima allows the driver to turn a simple hand movement in the console into a precise movement in gears in the transmission. This allows quick and confident change on every trip. The Shift Cable consists of a steel wire that slides inside a protective housing. It runs between the interior shifter and the transaxle. This lets the gear selection remain accurate, even with the vibrations of the engine bay. Previously, straight linkage rods were applied, but the Shift Cable was lighter, more corrosion resistant, and easier to route through tight front drive packaging. The Shift Cable moves separate rails in a fore and aft direction as well as side to side for manual gearboxes, whereas the automatic version is a single one that locks onto the transmission manual lever for park, reverse, neutral, and drive. Subsequent iterations of Nissan Altima sedans incorporated low friction liners and sealed ends that prevent the entry of grit, enhancing cable longevity and retaining crisp shifts. Nissan made numerous improvements over the years to the Shift Cable's internal lining to further cut drag and reduce console effort. Having regular inspections helps stop fraying or stretch prior to the shift becoming sloppy, thus keeping an Altima responsive under every acceleration or quick stop.
