SecosAutoparts Automatic Transmission Shift Cable Fit for Kia Forte 2010
Key features
- Fitment: Compatible with Kia Forte 2.0L 2010 with 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY — All Trim Levels (LX, EX, SX) — All Body Styles (Sedan, Koup, Forte5 Hatchback). CRITICAL: This cable is specifically designed for the 4-SPEED automatic transmission. This cable does NOT fit manual transmission vehicles.
- Manufacturer Part Number: 46790-1M200 467901M200. Also known as: Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable, Cable Assembly ATM Lever, Gear Shift Control Cable, Transmission Range Selector Cable. This is the cable that connects the gear shift lever (in the center console) to the automatic transmission — it translates your gear selection (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1) into mechanical movement at the transmission. When this cable fails, stretches, or the bushing breaks, you may experience difficulty shifting, the gear indicator not matching the actual gear, or the vehicle not going into Park properly. Package includes: 1 piece — shift control cable assembly with end fittings and bushings.
- Common Failure Symptoms: (1) Gear indicator doesn't match actual gear — dashboard shows "D" but transmission is in a different gear. (2) Difficulty shifting out of Park — have to jiggle or force the shifter. (3) Vehicle won't go into Park — key won't come out of ignition because transmission isn't fully in Park. (4) Shifter feels loose or sloppy — excessive play in the gear lever. (5) Delayed or no response when shifting — move the shifter but nothing happens for a moment. (6) "Check Engine" light with transmission codes — P0705, P0706, P0707, P0708 (Transmission Range Sensor).
- Pre-Assembled with End Fittings and Bushings: The cable assembly includes: (1) Steel inner cable with protective outer housing. (2) Pre-installed end fittings — one end connects to the gear shift lever mechanism, the other to the transmission manual valve lever. (3) Mounting brackets and clips for proper routing along the vehicle underbody. (4) New bushings at both cable ends — the bushings are the most common failure point on the original cable (they crack and break with age and heat exposure). Weight: 1.54 lbs. No modifications or adapters needed — direct bolt-in replacement.
- Installation — 1-2 Hours — Basic Hand Tools: Steps: (1) Put vehicle in Neutral and set parking brake. (2) Take it off center console trim panels to access the shifter end of the cable. (3) Disconnect the old cable from the shift lever — note the bushing connection point. (4) From underneath the vehicle, disconnect the cable from the transmission manual valve lever. (5) Take it off cable routing clips along the underbody. (6) Take it off old cable. (7) Route new cable following the same path. (8) Connect transmission end first, then shifter end. (9) Reinstall routing clips. (10) Verify all gears — shift through P-R-N-D-3-2-1 and confirm the gear indicator matches. (11) Test Park engagement.
