It's a different cable. Same gauge, just a different end. You LBS
will know what a friction shifter (thumb shifter) is. You just want to
make sure it's friction, not indexed. They're really inexpensive and
you may be lucky enough to get your hands on a used one for a couple of
dollars.
You're looking for something like this. http://tinyurl.com/6qoly2
Keep in mind there is a left and a right, so you'll want to think about
where this is going to be mounted and how you want the lever to rotate.
