ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an improved automotive transmission, particularly for highway trucks, wherein an overdrive condition of the transmission may be obtained by extension of the normal H-shaped shifting pattern of the gear shift lever. A direct drive condition of the transmission is obtained when the gear shift lever is in the forward position of the last lateral leg of an extended H shift pattern and the overdrive condition is obtained when the gear shift lever is in the rearward position of such last leg of the shifting pattern, thus requiring no unusual shifting movements on the part of the operator to effect the conversion of the transmission into the overdrive condition.
