A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) includes a moveable core element (24) having a wire (26) wound helically thereabout to form a continuous thread. An actuator (34, 38) for moving the core element (24) includes a cable gear (52) having peripheral gear teeth (60) engaging the thread-like wire (26) on the core element (24). A handle (72) rotates the cable gear (52) to move the core element (24). A lost motion connection is provided between the cable gear (52) and the handle (72) including a leg (66) extending radially outwardly from a rotatable sleeve (64) of the handle (72) which contacts an abutting surface (86) moveable with the cable gear (52). When the core element (24) is moved independently of the handle (72), the abutting surface (86) rotates away from the leg (66) thus allowing the handle (72) to remain stationary whereby a lost motion connection is provided between the core element (24) and the handle (72).
