ABSTRACT:
An improved floor control shift lever mechanism in an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, more particularly, an improved mechanism for moving up and down a detent rod so as to effect shifting of a shift lever and maintain its shifted condition. The detent rod is inserted in a cylindrical shift lever and axially reciprocates therein, and this detent rod is constantly drawn downward by means of a compression spring. The detent rod is provided with a pin at the upper end thereof. A hollow shift lever knob is attached to the upper end of the shift lever and a knob button is slidably inserted in the shift lever knob. One end of the knob button is protruded from the shift lever knob and another end of the knob button is pressed by a compression spring furnished within the shift lever knob. Between the knob button and the detent rod, there is provided means for joining the knob button to the detent rod. When the knob button is pushed inward, the detent rod is pulled up and simultaneously the lowermost edge of the detent rod is released from the engagement with a detent plate positioned thereunder and the shift lever becomes rotatable. When the knob button is released, the detent rod goes down and the lowermost edge of the detent rod is placed at a desired position on the detent plate.
