If yours is electronic you will need an electronic one for the trans. I dont know if they use the same one or not, you could try I guess, it it fits. If not, you could look for one for a th400 and buy it.

I specifically took that picture of that part of the cable asking what those grooves in the cable are for? Are they just there for looks or do they serve a purpose which I think they should. But the way my cable is attached they do not serve any purpose at all.
