ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission shifter includes a molded support and a shift lever pivotally mounted to the support by a pivot pin. The support includes a pair of spaced apart pivots forming an axis of rotation for the shift lever, and further includes a detent plate arching over the axis of rotation. The shift lever includes a post and an insert-molded pivot structure at the lower end of the post configured to fit between the spaced apart pivots on the support and to be pivotally mounted to the pivots by the pivot pin. The bottom of the support is open such that the shift lever can be extended through the bottom of the support during assembly to position the pivot structure between the spaced apart pivots with being operably adjacent the detent plate of the support.
