ABSTRACT:
A shift tower housing and the outer housing of a vehicle transmission are both formed with a bolt pattern that permits mounting of the shift tower and associated shift lever in both a forward control position and a center control position. Each of the shift bars in the transmission is formed with a pair of notches, a forward notch and a center notch for engaging the lower end of the shift lever in the forward control and center control positions respectively. An interlock bracket is trapped and retained by a mounting plate prior to the installation of the shift tower and is adjustable between the center and the forward positions. The interlock bracket includes a pair of arms for engaging the notches in the shift bars not being engaged by the shift lever to prevent movement of the non-selected shift bars during actuation of the transmission.
