Patent

CA 2140420

A shifter includes a polymeric base, and a polymeric tower attached to the base. A polymeric retainer is configured to twist lock onto the tower to retain a socket forming bushing and a shift stick including a socket engaging ball for pivotally mounting the shift stick to the base. A bell crank is pivotally mounted to the tower by a snap-lock pivot pin, and includes a leg that pivotally engages an integral arm that extends from the ball. The lower end of the shift stick is connected to a first transmission cable and a second leg on the bell crank is connected to a second transmission engaging cable. An automatic transmission shifter is also provided including a polymeric base, a polymeric mount attached to the base for pivotally supporting a shift stick, and a polymeric detent plate attachable to the mount. The shift stick includes an insert molded body that defines a pivot receiving section for pivotally mounting the shift stick to the mount. The body further includes a trailing section that defines multiple depressions, and a feel positioner roller attached to the mount by a leaf spring which biases the roller into engagement with the depressions. The feel positioner provides an aesthetic and comfortable feel to an operator moving the shift lever between gear engaging positions.
