A gear shift control linkage for use with a transmission in a vehicle has a support link (30) having a pivot end pivotally connected to the body (12) of the vehicle and a connecting end linked by means of a support rod (22) with the casing (10) of the transmission. The support link (30) has a fulcrum (20a) which is located between its pivot and connecting ends and at which it pivotally supports a gear shift control lever (20). The gear shift control lever (20) has an upper handle end (20b) and a lower connecting end linked by means of a control rod (16) with a gear shift actuating shaft (18) and is arranged to turn about the fulcrum (20a) in moving the control rod (16) and therefore the gear shift actuating shaft (18) in order to effect gear shifting in the transmission. The fulcrum (20a) is displaceable in a circular arc in response to displacement of the transmission whereby the displacement of the handle end (20b) of the gear shift control lever (20) is limited to quite a small value.
