Mechanical attachment for a shift lever vibration isolator

摘要

A mechanical attachment for a two-stage, bi-directional shift lever vibration isolator. A shift lever has a sleeve which receives thereinside a lever vibration isolator which includes a damping body having an outer surface characterized by an hour-glass cross-section; an attachment housing within the damping body; and upper and lower washers connected to the housing. An attachment bore passes laterally through the housing and is lined by a layer of the damping body. The attachment bore is disposed in the center of recessed surfaces of the hour-glass cross-section. An attachment pin passes through the attachment bore and the sleeve. The shift lever vibration isolator is freely slidable on the attachment pin, facilitated by a clearance between the attachment pin and the bore lining layer.
