Abstract
A mechanism for use with a vehicle having a power source and a transmission coupled with the power source. A shift lever coupled with the transmission is shiftable in a first direction within a first slot for selectively shifting the transmission between a neutral mode and driving modes. The shift lever is shiftable in a second direction within a second slot for blocking a brake mechanism in an engaged mode. An abutment mechanism is formed in a brake linkage and is abuttable with a portion of the shift lever when the shift lever has shifted into the second slot for blocking the brake linkage and brake mechanism from shifting into the disengaged mode.
