ABSTRACT:
A transmission shift control assembly for a tilting steering column assembly has a rotary arm member to which a transmission shift control cable is attached. The rotary motion at the arm member translates to linear motion at the cable. The arm member is connected with a detent control which has stop members to limit the rotary motion and a locating member to position the shift control at the selected transmission operating condition. A manual lever is secured with the detent control and the arm member to permit operator selection of the desired transmission operating condition. The manual lever pivots a portion of the detent control about one axis to release it from the locating portion so that upon rotation of the manual lever about another axis intersecting the first axis, a change in transmission operation can be selected. The steering column is tiltable about an axis which passes through the point of intersection of the other two axes.
