Shift apparatus

摘要

A shift apparatus includes a shaft (14) having a first axis (X) extending laterally with respect to a vehicle body. A bracket (24) is secured to a pivot pin (20) rotatable about a second axis (Y) extending laterally with respect to the first axis (X). A gear shift lever (26) is secured to the bracket (24) for unitary rotation therewith about the second axis (Y). A sleeve (30) is fixed to the gear shift lever (26) for unitary motion therewith. A check ball (36) is supported by the sleeve (30) and urged against a cam surface (48) of a stationary position plate (46). The cam surface (48) has a plurality of recesses (50P, 50R, 50N, 50D, 50F and 50S) engaged with the check ball (36).
