Abstract: A door check including an arm with an arm mount is provided for mounting the arm to a vehicle door or frame. The arm includes a first surface and an oppositely disposed second surface. The door check further includes an arm guide including a housing, including a guide mount for mounting the housing to the vehicle door or frame, and a guideway for receiving the arm. The arm guide also includes two generally facing arm engaging structures mounted within the housing for receiving the arm therebetween. Each arm engaging structure faces its respective arm surface. The arm guide includes a spring between the housing and the second arm engaging structure. The spring biases that structure towards the first arm engaging structure to urge these structures into contact with the respective arm surfaces restricting longitudinal movement of the arm through the guideway.

Abstract: A door check (10) check including an arm (12), the arm (12) including an arm mount (22) provided at one end thereof for mounting the arm (12) to one of a vehicle door or vehicle frame. The arm (12) also includes a generally longitudinally extending first surface (28) and an oppositely disposed longitudinally extending second surface (30). The door check (10) further includes an arm guide (16). The arm guide (16) includes a housing (42), the housing (42) including a guide mount (56), (58) for mounting the housing (42) to the other of the vehicle door or vehicle frame, and a guideway (14) for receiving the arm (12) therein. The arm guide (16) also includes first and second generally facing arm engaging structures (64), (66) & (72) mounted to or within the housing (42) for receiving the arm (12) therebetween. The first arm engaging structure (64), (66) is mounted to the housing (42) and faces the first arm surface (28). The second arm engaging structure (72) faces the second arm surface (30).

Abstract: A shift lever assembly (10) including a base member (14) and a shift lever (12); the shift lever (12) being pivotally mounted to the base member (14). The shift lever (12) is pivotally adjustable by an operator, relative to the base member (14), along a shift lever path from an initial position to at least one further position. The pivotal mounting of the shift lever (12) to the base member (14) is configured to enable the shift lever (12) to be mounted in a plurality of pivotal mounting configurations relative to the base member (14). Each pivotal mounting configuration defines a unique shift lever path relative to the base member (14).
