The Chevrolet S10 Shift Cable connects the driver's gear selector to the transmission so the gears engage quickly and accurately for reliable control for every trip. Initial designs employed rigid linkage rods. However, manufacturers soon adopted the flexible Shift Cable because it goes around obstacles, frees up cabin space, and is less susceptible to the dirt that plagues exposed levers. Within the sheath of the cable, there is a steel core that slides when the shifter is moved. This sliding motion and a spring pull act to pull the transmission manual lever into the appropriate slot. This slot will match the familiar PRNDL or H pattern that is indicated beside the lever. All two-wheel and four-wheel drive versions in the Chevrolet S10 family use the same routing. Subsequent generations applied the same basic Shift Cable arrangement but added some safety features. For example, a button on the floor shifters allows the driver to hit the button before shifting. Also added is an ignition brake interlock. This stops a driver from accidentally shifting until the brake pedal is pressed. Over time, a frayed Shift Cable can cause changes in feel like a loose feel, missing gears, or refusal to come out of Park, so they watch for play and replace it. The modern Shift Cable is lighter than the old rod system, it requires less lubrication, and it shrugs off minor drivetrain flex, benefits that have made it the standard on Chevrolet pickups from the compact S10 through every redesign.
