Winters Shifter Replacement Cables
6014-48
Keep your Winters SideWinder or Art Carr–style shifter performing at its best with these Winters Automatic Transmission Shifter Replacement Cables. Built to the same heavy-duty spec as the originals, these cables restore smooth gear engagement, precise shifting, and long-term reliability in harsh off-road environments.
Over time, shifter cables can fray, stretch, bind, or even break—especially in rock bouncers, crawlers, and race rigs where heat and vibration take a toll. A worn cable can cause the transmission to be in a different gear than the indicator shows, creating dangerous or unpredictable shifting conditions.
These Winters replacement cables are engineered to eliminate that issue, delivering true gear-to-gear dependability. Designed with a black jacket and 1/4-28 threaded ends, they offer 3 of linear travel and are flexible enough for smooth routing around obstructions. Note: cables cannot be cut to length.

Tech Insight
How do I know if my shifter cable needs to be replaced?
Common signs of a worn shifter cable include difficult shifting, inconsistent gear engagement, excessive play in the shifter, stiff movement, frayed cable ends, or the transmission not matching the shifter position. Replacing a worn cable helps restore accurate and reliable shifting.
Will this replacement cable fit my Winters SideWinder shifter?
Yes. This cable is designed as a direct replacement for Winters SideWinder shifters and most Art Carr-style race shifters that use 1/4"-28 threaded cable ends. Always verify your shifter model and cable mounting configuration before ordering.
Can this cable be used with TH400, 4L80E, and Powerglide transmissions?
Yes. These Winters replacement shifter cables are commonly used with TH350, TH400, Powerglide, 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, and 4L80E transmissions in race cars, rock bouncers, trail rigs, drag cars, and custom off-road vehicles.
Can I shorten or cut the shifter cable to fit my vehicle?
No. Winters shifter cables are manufactured to a specific length and should not be cut. When planning your installation, choose the correct cable length and route it with smooth bends to prevent binding and maximize cable life.
Why are heavy-duty shifter cables important for off-road vehicles?
Off-road vehicles experience constant vibration, suspension movement, heat, mud, and debris exposure. A heavy-duty shifter cable helps maintain precise transmission control under these conditions, reducing the risk of missed shifts, incorrect gear selection, or cable failure on the trail or race course.
