Abstract
A transmission interlock assembly is described. A shift rail may include an interlock passage containing at least one interlock member. First and second gear engagement devices mounted to the shift rail may include, respectively, first and second interlock indents. The interlock member may extend into the first or the second interlock indent when, respectively, the first or the second gear engagement device is in neutral. With both gear engagement devices in neutral, as the first (or second) gear engagement device is moved to engage a gear, the interlock member may be urged out of the first (or second) indent and into the second (or first) indent, the interlock member thereby preventing the second (or first) gear engagement device from moving out of neutral.
