Note: For non-crossed shifting housings at cockpit (REAR cable entering right and FRONT cable entering left, as shown
on the pictures above), the two cables need to run parallel through the DT.
For crossed shifting housings at the cockpit (REAR cable entering left and FRONT cable entering right), the shifting
cables need to be crossed again through the DT.
Important: please note that twisted cables are prohibited for both configurations (crossed, non-crossed). This would lead
to inaccurate and bad shifting when changing gears.
