Gear shifting mechanism

Gear shifting mechanism can be divided into two categories:

•  Floor mounted gear selector mechanism 
 

•The gear lever is ball mounted in the gear box cover. This facilitates it movement in any 

 direction

• The lower end of the gear lever fits into the slot in the selector sleeve

• There are forks mounted on the sleeves on three separate selector rods which are  \

  supported in the gear box casing

• Each selector sleeve can slide on its rod, but just to avoid unwanted engagement of gears, 

 

  slots are made on the selector rods and the sleeves are provided with spring  loaded balls

    

• These balls resist the movement of the forks until some  

   force is applied to the gear lever to overcome their 

  resistance

• In some cases the forks are fixed on the selector rods by  

    

   means of pins and the assembly can slide

 

•  The gear lever is ball mounted in the gear box cover. This facilitates it movement in any direction

•  The lower end of the gear lever fits into the slot in the selector sleeve

• There are forks mounted on the sleeves on three separate selector rods which are supported in the gear 

   box casing

• The gear lever rod is mounted on the steering column
