Shifter M/T: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The floor shift (2) is connected to the transmission by a coupling module (13) and supported on the body tunnel so that it can move via a swivel lever (3). This prevents transmission of vibrations and noise to the floor shift and to the tunnel by means of rubber mounts on the coupling rod, shift rod and the two swivel levers. The selector movement is transmitted from the shift lever to the inner shift module (12) in the transmission by the selector cable (4) and the shift movement is transmitted by the shift rod (1). Both transmission components are maintenance-free.
This type of shift mechanism has the following advantages:
- Precise and easy to operate shift.
- No transmission of component movements to the shift lever and tunnel. The swivel lever (3) and rubber mounts allow the engine/transmission joint to move in all directions.
