Adjustable shift detent assembly

摘要

A vehicle transmission detent assembly (23) is provided that includes a housing (14) having a bore (24). A movable shift rail (16) is supported by the housing and includes a recess (18) at least partially aligned with the bore (24). A detent (26) is at least partially arranged within the bore (24) and engages the recess (18). A biasing member (28) generates a force on the detent and urges the detent into engagement with the recess (18). An adjustment member (36) threadingly received within a portion of the housing coacts with the biasing member (28). Upon manipulation of the adjustment member (36), the biasing member (28) may be moved between a plurality of compressive states in which each of the states generates a different force on the detent. In this manner, the biasing spring (28) may be compressed or uncompressed to provide a desired shift feel.
