A shifting mechanism (25) is disclosed for shifting a shift rail (11) in a transverse (Y-Y) direction. The mechanism includes a shift finger (23) movable in both the transverse and axial (X-X) directions. The shift rail (11) defines a first blocker surface (59), and axially adjacent thereto a recess (63) in which is disposed a compression spring (71). When the shift finger (23) is positioned in a first axial position (FIG. 6), the shift finger engages the spring (71), and movement of the shift finger in the first transverse direction preloads the spring before the shift rail moves in the first transverse direction. In a second axial position (FIG. 9), the shift finger engages the first blocker surface (59), whereby movement of the shift finger in the first transverse direction results in corresponding movement of the shift rail in the first transverse direction. <IMAGE> |
