In one embodiment there is provided a multiple piece shifter cable system. The cable pieces may each have a core section with a connector, and a conduit section with a connector. The core connectors may be coupled together to connect the core sections of the cable pieces and the conduit connectors may be coupled together to connect the conduit sections of the cable pieces. When mated together, the conduit connectors may surround at least a portion of the mated core connectors. Also, in at least some implementations, the act of mating together the conduit connectors may also mate together the core connectors.
