TRANSMITTER FOR USE WITH A TWO-CABLE SHIFTING MECHANISM FOR A TRANSMISSION Abstract In a remote shifter for a vehicle transmission, a transmitter unit is located near the vehicle operator while a receiver unit is mounted on the transmission. The transmitter and receiver are coupled by flexible push-pull cables that transfer the motion of the gear shift lever operated by the vehicle operator of the transmission to select and engage the desired gears in the trans- mission. The shift lever is operable in two independent modes of pivotal motion about orthogonal axes. Motion in the first mode controls gear rail selection in the transmission and motion in the second mode controls gear engagement. The transmitter couples the gear shift lever to the cables so that pivotal motion ofthe gear shift lever in a transverse plane is translated to linear motion of theselect control cable while pivotal motion of the gear shift lever in the fore/aft plane is translated to linear motion of a second shift control cable. The transmitter maintains the motion of the two cables independent of one another. The gear shift lever is mounted to the vehicle by a mounting apparatus that maintains the shift lever orthogonal to the transverse axis at all times regardless of the motion of the shift lever in either the fore/aft or transverse planes. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, one of the cables is connected directly to the shift lever so that movement of the shift lever in the fore/aft axis translates into direct fore/aft motion of the cable.
