TWO-CABLE SHIFTING MECHANISM FOR TRANSMISSIONS Abstract of the Disclosure 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 a gearshift lever operated by the vehicle operator to the transmission to select and engage the desired gears in the transmission. The shift lever is operable in two independent modes of pivotal motion about orthogonal axes. Motion in a first mode controls gear rail selection in the transmission and motion in a second mode controls gear engagement. The transmitter couples the gearshift lever to the cables so that pivotal motion of the gearshift lever in a transverse plane is translated to linear motion of the select control cable while pivotal motion of the gearshift lever in the fore/aftplane is translated to linear motion of the shift control cable. The transmittermaintains the motion of the two cables independent of one another. The receiver translates linear motion of the select control cable into linear motion of an output shaft that couples the receiver to the vehicle transmission and translates linear motion of the shift control cable into rotational motion of the same output shaft. The receiver linkage maintains independence of the motions of each of the cables and maintains independence of the two modes of motion of the output shaft.
