ABSTRACT:
A shift fork/gate assembly is provided for use in a manual transmission of the type including a gear train having a plurality of gears disposed thereon and a shift control assembly for selecting one of the plurality of gears. The shift fork/gate assembly includes a shift fork member engaging a synchronizer device along the gear train. A gate member is connected to the fork member by inserting a portion of the gate member into an aperture formed in the fork member. The gate member selectively cooperates with a blocker of the shift control assembly to selectively prevent movement of the shift fork member until the shift control assembly is properly aligned.
