URO Shift Cable Ball Socket

The URO Parts Shift Cable Ball Socket (also called a shift cable ball end, ball socket retainer or shifter cable end) is a replacement connector for manual transmission shift cables. It joins the shift cable to the shifter or transmission lever. The ball-and-socket joint carries your shifter movement through the cable and into the transmission.

Key Features:

• Replacement ball socket end for manual transmission shift cable linkage
• Ball-and-socket design that lets the cable pivot as the shifter moves
• Designed to restore the crisp, precise shift feel that worn or cracked cable ends can lose
• Some designs allow adjustment at the shifter connection
• Made for European vehicle applications, where URO Parts is a well-known aftermarket brand
• Compact, lightweight part that is simple to install

Worn or broken ball sockets can cause sloppy shifting, vague gear engagement or a shifter that disconnects from the cable. Replacing the socket helps restore proper shifter-to-transmission connection. Some applications also use a separate retaining clip, so check the specific part listing for related hardware.

URO Parts offers more than 7,000 parts for European vehicles. They are aimed at both professional repairs and DIY work.
