    Abstract: A transmission cable for transmitting operation of a transmission lever to a select arm or a shift arm is disposed in a curved state in a manual transmission. An inner cable protrudes from an outer tube of the transmission cable, whereby a set load in a compressing direction is generated in the inner cable. However, by ensuring that the rigidity of a rubber bush for connecting one end of the inner cable to the select arm or the shift arm is set so that it is lower in a direction of pushing the inner cable than in a direction of pulling the inner cable to provide an anisotropic property, the set load in the compressing direction in the inner cable can be countervailed by a difference in rigidity of the rubber bush between a pushing direction and a pulling direction to eliminate deterioration in shifting feeling.
