ABSTRACT:
A pull-type actuator for an automotive transmission shifter is disclosed comprising a stationary base adapted to be mounted in an automotive vehicle. One or more gates are disposed in the base. A pivotable upstanding shift lever extends from the base and detent means is mounted for reciprocal movement in the base adjacent the lower end of the shift lever. The detent means must be aligned with a gate to allow entry into a locked out gear position. A manually actuable pull is disposed on the upper end of the shift lever and a flexible actuator link extends from the detent means to the pull. The actuator link is tensioned between the detent and the pull by a rack of teeth disposed on the upper end of the actuator link and a tooth engaging means disposed on the pull for engaging the teeth on the actuator link in a one way ratchet-like fashion.
