A shift-lever device includes a position plate integrated with a base plate and formed with a detent groove, a shift lever supported to the base plate to be swingable along the position plate and including a base arranged adjacent to the position plate, and a compression rod arranged through the shift lever to axially be movable by operation of a knob button. A detent protrusion is arranged with the compression rod at a lower end to be engageable with the detent groove. A guide integrated with the base of the shift lever holds part of the detent protrusion longitudinally with respect to a vehicle body.

Shift-lever devices

A shift lever apparatus combines an automatic transmission mode and a manual transmission mode. An end portion of a position pin engages with a guide lever. The guide lever comprises a guide hole. When the guide lever is swingably supported by a transverse shaft and a shift lever is moved into the manual transmission mode, an upside edge of the guide hole stops and lowers the end portion of the position pin. Thus, the position pin can swing between an R range and an L range.

Shift lever apparatus for automatic transmission

A shift lever device for an automotive automatic transmission is arranged so that a manual gear shift mode can be selected in addition to the a normal automatic gear shift mode. The shift lever device comprises a base bracket fixed on a vehicle body, a shift lever supported to the base bracket and a selector lever interconnected with an automatic transmission. The base bracket has an automatic mode shift slot, a manual mode shift slot parallel to the automatic mode shift slot and a switching slot connecting the automatic mode shift slot and the manual mode shift slot. The shift lever is extended over said base bracket so as to be moved through the automatic mode shift slot, the manual mode shift slot and the switching slot. The selector lever is integrally swung with the shift lever when the shift lever is put in the automatic mode shift slot. The selector lever is released from the shift lever when the shift lever is put in the manual mode shift slot to electrically execute a up-shift and down-shift through a fore-and-aft direction swing of the shift lever.

Shift select lever device for automatic transmission

An operating lever device for manual transmissions of motor vehicles includes a shift lever and a select lever connectable to a manual transmission through a shift cable and a select cable. Each lever is swingably supported to a support casing, and each cable has an end with a mounting member connected. The mounting member is slid on a slope of the casing to engage with each lever.

Operating lever device for manual transmissions for motor vehicles

A shift lever device for an automatic transmission comprises a lock plate rotatably supported by a pair of supports and formed with a step that cooperates with a detent recess of a position plate to prevent vertical and longitudinal movements of a position pin at least in the neutral (N) range. The lock plate is rotated to engage with the detent recess when the position pin is moved to the N range.

Shift lock mechanism for shift lever device

A shift lock arrangement for an automatic transmission shift lever device having a shift lock lever in contact with a position pin of the shift lever device positioned in a parking position has a lock lever in contact with the shift lock lever to restrict the movement of the position pin in the parking position. A key lock unit is connected with the shift lock lever so that the shift lock lever keeps latching the position pin in the parking position when an automotive key is not set therein. A slidable stopper pin is connected with a push rod pushed by a brake pedal in a released condition. The stopper pin latches the shift lock lever so as to prevent the movement of the position pin from the parking position to the other positions when the brake pedal is in the released condition. When the brake pedal is depressed, the push rod is released from the brake pedal and the stopper pin is disengaged from the shift lock lever. Therefore, the shift lever device is locked in the parking position when the key is not set in the key lock unit or when the brake pedal is not depressed.

Shift lock arrangement of automatic transmission shift lever device

A sealing structure for an automatic transmission shift control device comprises a boot interposed between a vehicle floor and a support member, which is a single piece resinous molding, of the transmission shift control device for providing a seal therebetween, and having on the lower side thereof a first seal projection in contact with the vehicle floor. A looped groove of a trapezoidal cross section is formed on the bottom of the support member. A second looped seal projection of a trapezoidal cross section and fittingly engageable in the groove in the boot is formed in the boot on the upper side of the boot. The first seal projection and the second seal projection are similar in loop shape and are located correspondingly on opposite sides of the boot.
