ABSTRACT:
A floor mounted shift console for an automatic transmission has a straight-line pattern for the conventional "P R N D I L" pattern and a modified "H" pattern for a 1-2-3 shift sequence. The manual shift lever is biased into an operating position with the yoke of a primary carrier during the straight-line pattern in all positions except "L". A blocker portion on the console prevents changing from the straight-line pattern to the modified "H" pattern except from "L", but permits a change from 2nd or 3rd in the modified "H" pattern to "I" or "D", respectively. A secondary carrier, cam and lever move the transmission control output cable, which is connected to the primary carrier, in a straight line during movement of the manual shift lever to the 2nd and 3rd positions of the modified "H" pattern. A link mechanism for locking the shift console in "Park" is also provided.
