The present invention relates to a transmission control system to be used in a vehicle. Such transmission systems utilise transmission cables what provide mechanical actuation of the gear box from the gear shifter. The invention comprises a transmission cable and a transmission cable housing having a conduit therethrough having a conduit wall, the conduit having longitudinal length and being configured to receive the cable such that the cable is able to move in the conduit in the longitudinal length. The conduit wall comprises undulations in the longitudinal length defining a plurality of peaks and troughs, wherein the transverse spacing between the cable and the peaks of the conduit wall is in the range of 0.02mm to less than 0.11mm.

Vibration is transferred through components that pass from an engine compartment to a passenger cell in a vehicle. One such component is the transmission cable (7). An inner cable provides the mechanical movement between the gear shifter and the gear box, and an outer conduit houses the cable. An abutment attaches this conduit to a body of a vehicle. The present invention provides a fixing element (19) or abutment for securing a conduit for carrying a cable (7) therethrough to a vehicle body, the conduit comprising a first portion and a second portion (37), wherein the fixing element (19) is configured to retain a damper for absorbing vibration in the longitudinal length of the conduit between the first and second conduit portion, at least a portion of the damper being formed of silicon rubber.
