Winters Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable

Winters Performance Automatic Transmission Shifter Cables

Winters Performance Products carries a legacy that traces back to 1958, when founder Vaughn Winter Sr. began building transmission components with a precision-first philosophy. Today, the company is an industry leader known for producing high-quality transmissions, gears, and driveline components for NASCAR, sprint cars, street rods, and muscle cars. That same commitment to durability and precision extends directly into their line of automatic transmission shifter cables.

Why Shifter Cable Quality Matters

Over time, shifter cables can wear out, become frayed, or even break — causing the transmission to be in a different gear than the shift indicator shows. 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. In a race environment or demanding off-road application, this kind of imprecision isn't just inconvenient — it can be dangerous.

The Winters 6014 Series Shifter Cable

Winters addresses these concerns with their 6014 Series automatic transmission shifter cables. These cables feature threaded ends and a black jacket, and are available in multiple overall lengths: 48-inch, 60-inch, 72-inch, and 96-inch options. This range of sizes gives builders the flexibility to properly route cables in a wide variety of chassis configurations without resorting to awkward bends or improvised solutions.

The 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. 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.

Built for Race and Off-Road Demands

These are heavy-duty cables designed specifically for SideWinder and Art Carr shifters, built to restore precise shifting in race cars, rock crawlers, and buggies. 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.

With a long-standing focus on durability, precision engineering, and race-proven results, it is no surprise that drivers continue to choose Winters Performance for transmissions, gears, and high-strength driveline components. Their automatic transmission shifter cables carry that same DNA — made to perform where it matters most and keep your gear selection accurate lap after lap.
