ABSTRACT:
A gearshift linkage for transmitting movement of a gear lever mounted in the cab of a tilt-cab vehicle to a ratio-change transmission carried by a chassis portion of the vehicle. A U-secion yoke is pivotally connected to a lower extension of the gear lever. The U-section yoke is provided with an L-shaped locating projection, and is fixed to an inner tube member. An outer tube member providing a connection to the ratio-change transmission telescopically surrounds the inner tube member and is fixed at one end to a channel-section housing member provided with a spring-loaded latching pawl. In a normal operating position the U-section yoke and the channel-section housing member are locked together with the pawl engaging the yoke and the locating projection fitting snugly between side walls of the channel-section member. A detent plate on the lower lever extension unlatches the pawl when the cab tilts, to allow telescopic extension of the tube members.
