A gear selector comprises a gate pattern 20 and a gear lever 22. The gate pattern 20 comprises a high range gate sub-pattern 24 having one or more high range gear planes 30 for moving the gear lever 22 to select a high range gear 32. A low range gate sub-pattern 26 comprises one or more low range gear planes to select a low range gear L1, L2. A neutral plane 34 extending transversely with respect to the high and low range gear planes and a force profile urges the gear lever toward a resting position in one of the one or more high range gear planes. The force profile comprising a first interference (50, fig 6) arranged to divide the high range gate sub-pattern from the low range gate sub-pattern, wherein the gear lever 22 is moveable past the first interference (50) from the high range gate sub-pattern to the low range gate sub-pattern when a first predefined action is performed by an operator moving the gear lever 22. |
