Abstract
A shift control mechanism particularly adapted for use with a manual transmission having a main control shaft on an axis normal to a single shift fork rail. Both rotational and longitudinal motion is transferred from the main control shaft to the shift fork rail through a single pivoted idler lever. A pair of shift forks and a reverse gear transfer bar are connected to an interlock system which insures that the shift fork rail establishes only one gear ratio at any time as it is rotated for crossover selection and moved longitudinally for gear engagement.
