Abstract
A forked linkage includes a forked end and a control end. An axially translatable spline coupling is supported and carried by the forked end. A pivot is between the forked end and the control end. A cam is configured to interact with the control end of the forked linkage. The cam includes a profile that defines an axial position of the spline coupling relative to an angular position of the cam. A bias biases the control end towards the cam.
