A joint arrangement in a shift mechanism for a motor vehicle includes a coupling element cooperating with a gear shift lever, a mounting element joinable to a gear lever carrier, and a damping element arranged between the coupling element and the mounting element. The damping element includes cooperating first and second slide surfaces, which, by a relative movement, damp vibrations and substantially prevent vibrations from being transmitted between the mounting element and the coupling element.

Joint arrangement for a gear shift mechanism

Gear shift mechanism for a vehicle gearbox, comprising a gear lever ( ) pivotable between forward and rear end positions via an intermediate neutral position. A pivot element ( ) is pivotable about an axis (c), which is located between and fixed relative to the pivot axis (a) of the gear lever and the lower end of the gear lever. A pair of springs ( ) are set between the pivot element and said end of the gear lever so as to make up together with the pivot element an over center mechanism, which forces the gear lever towards either of the end positions.
