Abstract
A single manually operated control lever is operable to operate a range shift mechanism and a park lock mechanism in a vehicle transmission. The control lever is pivoted to a pivot bracket on a first horizontal axis and the pivot bracket is pivoted to a stationary console on a second horizontal axis lying in a plane normal to the first axis. The control lever selectively and alternatively engages notches in a pair of operating members connected to the range shift and park lock mechanisms. A spring interacting between the pivot bracket and the control lever biases the latter into engagement with the notch on the range shift operating member.
