The transmission shift cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the gearshift lever to the automatic transmission. The indicated position of the transmission control selector lever is transferred to the transmission through the steering column shift selector on the 4R70W transmission, or the floor shifter mechanism on the 4R100 transmission, then to the cable and down to the manual control lever on the transmission.
