Kia Forte 2.0L Automatic Shift Control Cable 46790-1M200

This is a replacement automatic transmission shift control cable for the 2010 Kia Forte with the 2.0L engine. It replaces Kia part number 46790-1M200 (467901M200). It matches the factory length and mounting points, so it installs without cutting or modifying anything.

The shift cable connects the shifter in the console to the manual shift lever on the transmission. When the cable stretches, the end bushing wears out, or the inner wire binds, the shifter position stops matching the gear the transmission is actually in. Common signs are a car that will not go into Park or will not release the key, a shift indicator that reads one gear off, a lever that feels loose or stiff, or a no-start because the range switch never sees Park or Neutral.

Before you replace the cable, look at the plastic bushing on the transmission end. If only that bushing has crumbled, the cable itself may be fine. If the inner wire is kinked, frayed or seized in the jacket, replace the whole cable. After installation, check that the transmission sits fully in the Park detent with the lever in P, and that the engine starts only in Park and Neutral.

Match the part number on your old cable before you order.
