VEHICULAR TRANSMISSION SELECT AND SHIFT MECHANISM

摘要

A vehicular transmission having multiple gear trains including an ultra-low speed for all-wheel operation. A gear train selecting and shifting mechanism includes a select shaft and a shift shaft rotatably mounted perpendicular to each other. A shift piece slidably mounted on another shaft for engaging the shift forks for establishing the selected gear train. An arm is mounted on the select shaft for pivoting thereby and engages the shift piece for selecting the desired shift fork. Another arm is mounted on the shift shaft for pivoting thereby and engages the shift piece for causing shifting of the gear trains. Push-pull wires are provided from the driver's position for causing rotation of the select and shift shafts through external levers. An interlock plate prevents selection of the shift fork for the ultra-low speed unless a transfer gear clutch is engaged for all-wheel vehicle operation.
