ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A shift control mechanism (10) for use in cooperation with a shift bar housing assembly (16) of a change gear transmission of the type comprising a shift bar housing (14) in which a plurality of axially moveable shift rails (18, 20, 22 and 24) are mounted is provided. The shift control mechanism includes a control housing (12) in which a shift yoke (64) is pivotably mounted for pivotal movement about a pivot axis (68) in a direction (Y-Y) transverse the axes of the shift rails. A shift lever (48) carrying a shift finger (52) at one end thereof and a shift knob (56) at the other end thereof is pivotably mounted in the shift yoke about an independent pivot axis (62) for pivotal movement in the direction (X-X) parallel the axes of the shift rails relative to the shift yoke and control housing. The shift yoke defines a slot or gap (82) having a transverse width (80) greater than the transverse width (38) of any one of the shift rails but less than the combined transverse width of two of the shift rails through which the shift finger is pivotably moveable in the direction parallel the axes of the shift rails to provide a positive interlock mechanism. The shift yoke carries stops (98) and (100) for engagement with the outer shift rails (18 and 24) to limit pivotal movement of the shift lever and shift yoke and to provide positive indication of correct selection of the outer two shift rails (18 and 24). A spring biased detent mechanism (110) cooperates with a notched contact surface (112) to provide a feel for proper selection of the inner two shift rails (20 and 22).
