Abstract
A dual drive gear shift assembly for a vehicle gearbox such as an automotive transfer case is depicted and described. Certain features and functions previously carried out by multiple parts in past devices are combined in single components in the dual drive gear shift assembly, furnishing a reduced quantity of overall parts and a reduction in overall weight. The dual drive gear shift assembly, per certain implementations, can include a shift cam housing, a sensor plate, a dual drive gear, and a thrust washer, among other possible components. The sensor plate and dual drive gear can be attached together, and one or more tabs of the thrust washer can be received in one or more complementary slots of the shift cam housing.
