This invention refers to a connector system (1) and a method for connecting an elongate body (3) to a movable body (5), particularly a control cable (3) to a movable part (5) of a gear shift system (11) in a vehicle. The connector system (1) comprises a terminal unit (13), an adjuster rod (9) and an operable securing means (33), wherein the adjuster rod (9) is connectable to the elongate body (3) and the terminal unit (13) is connectable to the movable body (5). The connector system (1) is characterised in that the adjuster rod (9) has a first axial position and a second axial position relative to the terminal unit (13), and wherein the adjuster rod (9) is rotatable relative to the terminal unit (13) in the first axial position and locked against rotation relative to the terminal unit (13) in the second axial position, and the operable securing means (33) is able to secure the adjuster rod (9) against an axial movement relative to the terminal unit (13) in the second axial position. The inventive connecting method uses the inventive connector system (1) and comprises the steps: - moving the adjuster rod (9) into a first axial position relative to the terminal unit (13), in which the adjuster rod (9) is rotatable relative to the termi- nal unit (13), - then adjusting the angular position of the adjuster rod (9) relative to the terminal unit (13), - then moving the adjuster rod (9) into a second axial position relative to the terminal unit (13), in which the adjuster rod (9) is locked against rotation relative to the terminal unit (13), and - then securing the adjuster rod (9) against an axial movement relative to the terminal unit (13). |
