The gear lever is pivotted, such as by a ball and socket arrangement, in the upper end of a housing. The upper part 5A of the gear lever carries a sleeve which has a slot 46 through which extends a pin 48 rigid with the gear lever. The sleeve 34 carries an enlarged platform 44 on which the lower end of a compression spring 50 is seated, the upper end of the spring 50 engaging the pin 48. The platform (44) is thus normally in a position below the upper end of a wall 10A upstanding from the top of the housing. To engage reverse gear, the driver raises the sleeve on the gear lever to allow the platform 44 to be clear of the wall 10A, thereby allowing the gear lever (5) to move into the reverse gear position. Upon release of the sleeve, a sloping undersurface 54 of the platform 44 makes contact with a similarly sloping surface 56 of the wall 10A. These sloping surfaces facilitate movement of the gear lever out of the reverse gear position. |
