A fluid level sender mount assembly includes a first mounting member having a chamber and a second mounting member having an elongate docking portion. The docking portion may be sized to slidably fit and rotate within the chamber to permit positioning the second mounting member at a plurality of different linear and angular positions with respect to the first mounting member. The second mounting member may be affixed to the first mounting member to retain the second mounting member in a desired position W/R/T the first mounting member. One of the first and second mounting members may be adapted to be attached to a fluid container. The other of the first and the second mounting members may be adapted to be attached to a fluid level sender.

A shifter construction for shifting a transmission includes a base, a shift lever pivotally supported on the base at a main pivot for movement between a plurality of gear positions including a particular gear position, and an ignition switch constructed to move between a key-released position and a key-retaining position. An interlock cam is pivotally supported on the base at an interlock pivot and operably connected to the shift lever and to the ignition switch. The interlock cam is movable between a locked position where the interlock cam prevents the shift lever from moving from the particular gear position but allows the ignition switch to be moved, and an unlocked position where the shift lever is allowed to move but the ignition switch is held in the key-retaining position. The interlock cam has an interlock stop spaced from the interlock pivot. The shift lever includes an interlock protrusion that fits into a notch in the interlock cam between the interlock pivot and the interlock stop when the shift lever is in the particular gear position and the interlock cam is in the locked position. The shift lever, when initially being moved out of the particular gear position, moves the interlock protrusion along a line generally connecting the interlock pivot and the interlock stop when the interlock cam is in the locked position. The interlock cam is configured to withstand significant force without deformation. An attempt to forcibly move the shift lever out of the particular gear position when the interlock cam is in the locked position causes the interlock cam to move into engagement with the interlock stop without causing a rotational force on the interlock cam that would move the interlock cam toward the unlocked position.
