ABSTRACT:
An improved manually operable gearshift mechanism is disclosed for an automobile transmission, and which gearshift mechanism is of the character including a support of sheet metal construction and first and second gear selector members mounted on the support for pivotal movement of the members together about a first axis and for pivotal movement of one of the members relative to the other about a second axis transverse to the first axis. An operating lever is attached to the second gear selector member to facilitate pivoting the first and second members about the first and second axes and between a plurality of positions relative to the support and each other and in which positions the gear selector members operate to position corresponding gear shifting cables in positions corresponding to one of a plurality of selectable transmission gears. Improvements are provided with respect to the structure of the support, mechanical interconnections by which pivotal movement of one of the gear selector members is translated to linear displacement of the corresponding gearshifting cable, stability of the gear selector members during pivotal movements thereof, and lockout mechanisms for preventing unintentional displacement of the gear selector members into the positions thereof corresponding to the reverse gear of the transmission.
