ABSTRACT:
A shift mechanism for a speed change gear mounted in a horizontal posture on a horizontal engine which is mounted on a rear side of a four wheel drive vehicle. The shift mechanism includes a shift cable and a select cable which are generally linearly wired from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The shift mechanism also includes a first engaging portion and a first link mechanism for converting rotational motion of a shift lever, as transmitted to the shift lever through said shift cable, to a reciprocating motion of a shift and select shaft. The shift mechanism further includes a second engaging portion and second link mechanism for converting rotational motion of a select lever, as transmitted to the select lever through said select cable, to a reciprocating motion of said shift and select shaft.
