Abstract
A shifter housing assembly for a multiple speed power transmission which includes a die cast shifter housing, a plurality of axially shiftable cylindrical shifter rods slidably contained in circumferentially open, part-cylindrical notches in the housing, a poppet type interlock mechanism that is contained in a circumferentially open, interrupted notch which extends through the circumferentially open notches to engage the shifter rods and limit the axial shifting of the shifter rods, and a stamped steel retainer plate which is removably attached to the housing to retain the shifter rods in the part-cylindrical notches and the interlock mechanism in the interrupted notch. The retainer plate has a plurality of part-cylindrical notch portions which are aligned with the part-cylindrical notches in the housing to form generally cylindrical passages for the shifter rods.
