Abstract
A selecting mechanism for a vehicular transmission operating apparatus having an interlock plate rotatably mounted to a mounting base plate. A selection shaft fixed at one end to the interlock plate is directly connected to the shift rod so as to transmit rotation of the shift rod directly to the interlock plate. A selection snugness arm is rotatably mounted to the mounting base plate and interacts with the selection shaft. A torsion spring retains the snugness arm in its non-rotated position. A snugging mechanism is connected to the snugness arm and has a spring loaded snugging member which rides on a variable heighth cam face so as to impart a variable resistance upon rotation of the shift rod.
