ABSTRACT:
A transmission operating device includes a hand lever connected through a control rod to a control shaft of a transmission. In a front-engine and front-wheel-drive car, the engine is traversely arranged and therefore the axis of the control shaft is often located considerably traversely from the longitudinal center axis of the car. According to the invention, a universal joint of the control rod on the side of the control shaft of the transmission is traversely offset toward the longitudinal axis of the car to reduce the deviation of movement of a knob at the upper end of the hand lever from a speed selecting pattern, thereby improving the feeling of speed selecting operation.
