Abstract:
1. A noise reduction apparatus for a shift cable, comprising: a mounting socket that is fixed to a shift lever mounting bracket, with an inner cable of the shift cable therethrough; a cable connection pipe that has one side connected to a shift lever-sided end of an outer cable of the shift cable; and a housing connection pipe that has one end elastically-coupled to a shift lever-sided end of the cable connection pipe with a predetermined distance therebetween by a first antivibration member in a damper housing and the other end thereof elastically-connected to the shift lever mounting bracket by a second antivibration member in the mounting socket; wherein the shift lever-sided end of the cable connection pipe has a flange having an increased diameter; wherein the housing connection pipe has first and second flanges having an increased diameter at both the one end and the other end thereof respectively; wherein the damper housing is formed to cover the flange of the cable connection pipe and the first flange of the housing connection pipe to prevent the flange of the cable connection pipe and the first flange of the housing connection pipe from opening; and wherein the first antivibration member prevents direct contact among the damper housing, the flange of the cable connection pipe and the first flange of the housing connection pipe, and the second antivibration member prevents direct contact between the mounting bracket and the second flange of the housing connection pipe.
