Abstract
A control cable adjusting arrangement for a gear shift locking arrangement includes a holder portion which accepts an inner cable of a control cable in one end thereof. An outer cable encasing the inner cable is retained by a bracket. The other end of the holder accepts an end of a control rod associated with a gear shift lever. Disposed around the holder is a slider portion movable between a locked and unlocked position determined between two stopper flanges formed on the outer circumference of the holder. The holder and slider are made of an elastic material such as rubber and an end of the holder which accepts the end of the control rod has a flared outer circumference. When the slider is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position the end of the control rod becomes held firmly in the holder and the end of the inner cable held by the holder is drawn tightly such that slack is removed from the inner cable and the relative positions of the inner cable and the control rod may be adjusted by a simple one touch operation.
