Shift mechanism for change-speed gearing in motor vehicles

摘要

The gear changing device has an external housing (2) attached to the gearbox housing and an internal housing (3) with upper and lower bearings for a vertically sliding and pivoted gear changing shaft (6), with a switching finger, a switching pin cooperating with a switching guide (11) and a spring-loaded ball ratchet for defining the gear positions. The ratchet cooperates with a contour plate (14) with upper and lower V-shaped sections defining the neutral position and vertical grooves defining the gear engagement positions.
