ABSTRACT:
An improved foot-operated gearshift mechanism wherein a foot-operated pedal is operable to cause the pedal to move, generally, up or down. This movement, in turn, causes the gear-shift shaft to rotate so as to change gears. The improvement lies in providing a shifting lever assembly which has three sections. The first section is attached to the foot-operated pedal at one end and has an elbow at the other end. The second section proceeds to a second elbow. From that second elbow, the third section continues to a gearshift handle.
