Abstract
A drop-in shifter for a manual transmission includes an elongated base, a shift stick mounted on the base for multi-axis movement and a depending gear actuating lever. An elongated rail is supported on the base by spaced bearings for rotational and lateral shifting movement. The shift stick has a lower end pivoted to the rail. The gear actuating lever is fixed to the rail at a point spaced from the shift stick. The lever extends through the base which is bolted to the transmission. Multi-axis movement of the shift stick is translated into multi-axis movement of the gear actuating lever through the bearings and rail.
