  • Shift lever assembly with axially offset noise and vibration damper
    Patent number: 9599213
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly for a manual transmission includes a hollow shift lever having a shift knob provided thereon. A noise and vibration damper includes a hollow housing that is connected to the hollow shift lever, and a damper assembly is provided within the hollow housing of the noise and vibration damper. The damper assembly is adapted to be connected to a control member of a manually operable transmission. A line extends from the shift knob provided on the hollow shift lever and through the interior of the hollow shift lever. The line is adapted to control the operation of the manually operable transmission.

  • Manual Shift Transmission Control
    Publication number: 20150204443
    Abstract: A manually shiftable transmission includes a blocking mechanism to prevent unintended engagement of a first forward gear set. An electronic controller is provided for moving the blocking mechanism into an unblocking position. A manually operable release switch is provided to generate a signal to an electronic controller to move the blocking mechanism into the unblocking position when an intentional engagement of the first gear set is desired. The transmission may also include a mechanism to inhibit engagement of a reverse gear set. The electronic controller and manually operable release switch may be used to move the reverse gear inhibiting mechanism to an uninhibited position.
