ABSTRACT:
A pivot mount for a vehicular shift lever which precludes the play in the shift lever. The mount is employed in conjunction with a shift bowl that is rotatably mounted on a steering column. A clevis extends radially outwardly from the shift bowl, and the clevis has laterally spaced connecting plates. A bore penetrates each connecting plate. The bores through the connecting plates are registered. A shift lever having a mounting block is mounted from the clevis. The mounting block has laterally spaced, substantially parallel, first and second faces adapted to be embraced between the connecting plates. An aperture penetrates the mounting block and opens through the first and second faces to register with the bores through the connecting plates. A bushing assembly having an annular body portion with longitudinally spaced first and second rim edges is insertably received within the aperture which penetrates the mounting block. A pivot pin extends through not only the bores in the connecting plates but also the aperture through the mounting block. A pair of longitudinally resilient arms extends transversely outwardly from the first rim edge and are canted such that the distal end portions thereof are displaced toward the second rim edge. A slot extends between the first and second rim edges. The slot opens through the first rim edge between the resilient arms. A recess in the first face extends radially outwardly from the aperture through the mounting block and is adapted to receive the resilient arms.
