Abstract
A shifter assembly is disclosed for use with a manually-operated multiple-speed ratio transmission. The shifter assembly includes a tower housing fixed to the transmission casing, and a shift lever operably coupled to the gearshift mechanism housed within the transmission casing and which is supported for movement within the housing under the control of a vehicle operator. A shift inhibitor device is located within the housing and is operable for inhibiting movement of the shift lever from the highest forward gear position into the reverse gear position. In addition, the shift inhibitor device is also adapted to guide the shift lever into a 'Neutral' position.
