Reverse Gearshift Limit Yoke

The reverse gearshift limit yoke is located in the gearshift lever case and rides on the gearshift shaft. The reverse gearshift limit yoke prevents the transmission from being shifted directly from 5th to reverse. When the transmission is shifted into 5th gear, the reverse gearshift limit yoke is turned clockwise by the gearshift limit spring causing the reverse gearshift limit yoke to land on the reverse gearshift limit bolt. This action prevents a 5th-to-reverse gearshift.





Shifting from 5th gear to neutral is possible with the reverse gear shift still canceled. This is due to the reverse gearshift limit yoke making contact with the reverse gearshift limit bolt preventing further gearshift control lever rearward movement.








When the gearshift shaft is turned to the neutral position between 3rd and 4th gears, the gearshift limit spring turns the reverse gearshift limit yoke
counter-clockwise away from the reverse gearshift limit bolt. This action cancels the limiting mechanism and allows a reverse gearshift. After the reverse gearshift limiting mechanism has been canceled, reverse gear is then available.
