Defect
The clip securing the manual transmission control cable to the frame has insufficient strength. Repeated transmission operation causes the clip to fracture, and a fragment of the clip contacts the alternator wiring. This damages the wiring insulation and causes a short circuit. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the manual transmission control cable clip with a corrected part.
