Gearshift Controls

Gearshift Mechanism






Gear selection begins in the gearshift control lever (1). The gearshift control shaft transmits gear selection from the gearshift control lever to the transaxle. The gearshift control shaft joint connects the gearshift control shaft to the transaxle gearshift shaft.

Gearshift and Select Shaft Assembly






An arm (15) and a yoke (13) to the gearshift and to the select shaft assembly transmit the transaxle gearshift shaft (14) movement. This happens when the transaxle gearshift shaft performs the following movements:
^ The transaxle gearshift shaft moves in.
^ The transaxle gearshift shaft moves out.
^ The transaxle gearshift shaft turns.

The gearshift and the select shaft assembly actuate each shift shaft and each fork for the desired transaxle gearshift. A gearshift interlock plate (11) prevents 2 different gears from engaging during shifting.
