ABSTRACT:
A steering column-mounted shift control assembly includes a rotatably mounted shift lever unit, a shift handle pivotally mounted on the shift lever unit, and a spring for urging the terminal end of the shift handle toward a planar gate unit having Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Second and Low detents formed thereon for selective cooperation with the spring-loaded shift handle terminal end to select a desired transmission shift position. A mechanical brake interlock system cooperates between a foot brake lever and a blocker member pivotally mounted adjacent the terminal end of the shift handle adapted to prevent pivoting of the blocker member away from the terminal end to thus prevent movement of the terminal end of the shift handle out of the Park detent position prior to depression of the commonly used brake pedal and its associated brake lever.
