CONTROLS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The transmission controls consist of a shift lever
assembly, cross gate cable and two gear change
tubes connected to a pivoting bellcrank.
The shift cable transmits left and right shift lever
movement to the transmission selector shaft.
Movement of this shaft controls the shift gate
selection.
A detent plate in the shift lever assembly
limits cable travel to provide proper alignment of
the selector shaft and shift rods within the
transmission.
The plate also provides reverse lock-
out by requiring that shift lever be lifted up before
it is moved into the reverse gate position.
The gear change tubes transmit fore and aft
motion to the transmission selector
shaft,
this
movement selects the gear change within the
selected shift gate.
