Abstract: A core length adjuster mechanism provides adjustment for a push-pull cable system having a core disposed within a conduit. The core and the conduit are flexible for much of their length, with the core being a rigid rod at the ends. An end of one of the rods is slidably disposed within a body of the adjuster mechanism. The body was generally rectangular shape, elongated in an axial direction. The body has a member for swivelable attachment integrated into it. The body has a rectangular opening through perpendicular to the axis from a top to a bottom. There are teeth transverse to the axis in the opening on sides paralleling the axis. A clip is disposed in the opening. The clip can be manually moved from an adjust position to an engaged position. It has teeth complementary to the teeth in the opening that engage those teeth when the clip is in an engaged position by pressing it into the body. When the clip is in the adjust position, the teeth are not engaged.

Abstract: The transmission shift range selector is held in a Park position by a solenoid attached on one end to a Park/Lock mechanism and to a housing on the other end, until an operator controlled mechanism has been manipulated prior to attempting to shift the range selector.

Abstract: The transmission shift range selector is held in a nondrive position by a pawl and rack mechanism until an operator controlled mechanism has been manipulated prior to attempting to shift the range selector.

Abstract: A manual transmission shift control arrangement wherein a shift shaft is movable by a shift control lever into and out of a transmission to one of three REVERSE, FIRST/SECOND, and THIRD/FOURTH selector positions, and then rotatable in one direction into REVERSE, FIRST or THIRD, or in the opposite direction into SECOND or FOURTH ratio positions, depending upon the selector position, by two cables and associated levers operatively connected therebetween.
