Ford Excursion Shift Cable

The Ford Excursion Shift Cable is a part that allows the driver to select gears properly. In more detail, it connects the column or floor lever to the transmission. Likewise, it uses a strong steel core that moves inside a low friction sleeve. When the driver moves the shifter, that movement is translated into corresponding movement in the transmission, allowing gear selection. The column shifter of early Excursion editions was paired with a single Shift Cable routed through the firewall to the transmission manual lever. This saves space on the dash as well as more vibration isolation compared to a rigid rod. Over the years, Ford made updates to the system to suit changing interiors. When console buckets arrived, the same Shift Cable design was adapted to suit a floor shifter still with a button gate plus ignition brake interlock for safety. In later Excursion years, the mechanical Shift Cable was retained. In addition, electronic safeguards were added that do not allow movement out of Park until the brake pedal is pressed. The Shift Cable can stretch if overworked, and replacement usually restores crisp selection. The effort that Ford has taken in creating these evolutions instills confidence in Ford drivers, and it keeps the big Excursion easy to control in any driving situation.
