The gear shift stick assembly permits shifting in four forward speeds and reverse. It includes a trigger located near the gear shift knob which may be pulled up or down while the stick is being shifted in position. A wire runs from the trigger down through the stick and engages a generally hat-shaped stop sleeve. When the trigger is not operated, the stop sleeve is in its lower position and abuts a fixed stop member that is mounted in the shift assembly in a position to prevent movement of the stick into the reverse gear-actuating position. If the stick is not in the third-fourth gear slot and the trigger is raised, the stop sleeve comes into the path of another stop member preventing movement of the stick toward the third-fourth gear slot.
