Abstract

An improved star shift detent mechanism for an All-terrain vehicle. The improved star shift detent mechanism has a neutral-position ridge element with a trough formed therein, wherein the trough has a greater arc length and larger radius of curvature than the prior art for improving the finding of the neutral position. Relatedly, the remaining ridge elements of the improved star shift detent mechanism have the same spacing as the prior art but have smaller amplitudes, thereby enabling a smoother and faster selection of gears.
