ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a snowmobile with a reverse-shift lever. A shift cable extends between a transmission which is shiftable from a forward condition to a reverse condition and a lever means of the invention. The lever means is mounted on the snowmobile and includes a lever arm having first and second sides which may be moved from a first, forward position displaying its first side and second, reverse position displaying its second side. So moving the lever arm causes the cable to move, thereby shifting the transmission between its forward and reverse conditions. The first side of the lever arm may include an indicator indicating a forward condition of the transmission and the second side of the lever arm may be provided with an indicator indicating a reverse condition.
