ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a base, a park brake mechanism and a shift lever both operably attached to the base, and a console configured to cover the components. The components are designed to minimize parts and pieces, including minimizing time required for subassembly together as a unit and minimizing time required for assembly into vehicles. The park brake mechanism includes a quick-attachment structure for drop-in attachment to a spanning bracket for operably engaging wheel park brake cables in the vehicle to the park brake mechanism. The arrangement provides a balanced pulling force, despite unequal lengths of the park brake cables. Further, the shifter includes a shift lever adapted to shift a manual transmission, but constructed to minimize transmission of vibration from the vehicle to the shift lever during operation of the vehicle. Still further, the base includes apertured flanges configured to receive hook-shaped quick-attach connectors on the side walls of the console for securing the console to the base.
