Abstract
In order to eliminate play between the elements of a shift mechanism wherein when a shift lever is moved toward control wire, the control wire is moved toward the shift lever and versa. A torsion spring which produces a force greater than the force which resists movement of the control wire or cable is disposed with a bell crank which interconnects the shift lever and the control wire and is arranged to bias a pin which forms part of the connection between the shift lever and the bell crank into constant engagement with a side of an elongate slot in which the pin is received and which slot forms part of the above mentioned connection.
