ABSTRACT:
A shift bracket assembly for a manually operated transmission provides a lighter and more desirable spring force on a transmission shift lever, with fewer parts than as required by the prior art. The bracket is disposed for affixation to, and movement with, an axially movable shift rail; the bracket including a transversely aligned plunger slidably disposed within a bore in the bracket. In a preferred embodiment the bore is stepped, and slidingly retains a mating stepped plunger, the plunger including a cam surface for continuous coaction with a spring and poppet ball at all operative positions of the plunger.
