Gear Control Cables becoming even more popular

Such has been the popularity of its Gear Control Cables, that the original range of 60 part numbers available to UAN members from First Line has now grown to more than 90, which cater for multiple automotive and LCV applications.

In common with a traditional gear linkage, the Gear Control Cable selects and engages the different gears within the transmission system and is becoming a favoured method of gear control, particularly with LCVs such as the Ford Transit.

To ensure a smooth gear selection however, the control cable needs to be in good condition and if it needs to be changed, a high quality replacement is a necessity, which in common with many other premium quality products, is where First Line steps in to provide the solution for members.

Following its standard practice, the company sources it’s First Line Gear Control Cables from factories that also supply their cables as original equipment fitment for the vehicle manufacturers. As a result their quality is first rate, as is the range, which includes several notable applications that some members may still believe are only available via the franchised dealer.

As stated, the extensive range now contains in excess of 90 references, covering both right hand and left hand drive vehicles for automotive and light commercial vehicle applications. However, it’s the Ford Transit 2006>on additions that many members will be particularly interested in as traditionally these have been difficult to source when requested by workshops making a repair.

The First Line product development team has worked tirelessly to provide the solution to these problem applications and as a result, the range now includes the following Ford Transit models.
