Abstract
A switch is incorporated in a shift knob mounted to a gear shift lever for limited movement and includes a stationary contact and three mutually insulated contact fingers cooperable with the stationary contact. The contact arrangement is such that manipulation of the shift knob upon selecting one of a first group of positions of the shift lever will cause one of first and second contact fingers to contact with the stationary contact and manipulation of the shift knob upon selecting one of a second group of the positions of the shift lever will cause third contact finger to contact with the stationary contact and thereafter will cause one of first and second contact fingers to contact with the stationary contact.
