ABSTRACT:
A shifting mechanism for a mechanical transmission includes a selector shaft having associated shift forks for engaging or disengaging a selected gear ratio and a control rod directionally coupled to the selector shaft for positive rotation while allowing a predetermined relative axial translation. A cylinder assembly is operatively associated with the selector shaft and control rod to provide a fluid coupling which applies a force on the selector shaft in response to the relative translation between the selector shaft and the control rod to reduce the operator effort required to complete a gear shift.
