ABSTRACT:
A gear shift lever bearing for automotive transmissions includes a ball socket formed of tough elastic material located in a bearing housing having multiple slots that define circular ball socket sectors. A ball, received in the ball socket, includes laterally guided tabs received in grooves formed in the socket. The bearing housing retains the ball socket in position by locking rings and a retaining ring. A shoulder of the ball socket includes multiple webs located in the slots and radial and axial supports that resiliently bear upon the cylindrical bore and the retaining ring.
