596.03.0005 Volvo Compatible Split Cylinder Gear Lever Cable

What does a gear lever cable do?

This split cylinder gear lever cable is a vital component within the transmission system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring the precise transmission of movement from the gear selector to the control cylinder. Built with high-strength components, it facilitates the critical shifting functions required for splitter/range gearboxes in demanding environments.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This cable is compatible with Volvo trucks such as the FH12, FH13, FH16, FM series, and VNL models, as well as Mack Granite and Pinnacle units. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks models like the Kerax, Magnum, and Premium. The component is designed to maintain structural integrity during frequent gear shifts.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For technicians performing maintenance, it is essential to verify the specific gearbox model and chassis number to ensure correct end-fitting geometry. Proper installation of this cable helps maintain smooth gear transitions and prevents premature wear on the splitter cylinder assembly. Always inspect the cable sheath and end-fittings for signs of damage during routine inspections.

Selection and fitment advice

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific engine configuration, such as Volvo D13 or Mack MP8 series.
