Abstract: In an arrangement for mounting gear shift means in a gearbox, a number of selector shafts carry axially movable selector forks for operating a number of clutches for putting alternative gears in mesh while forming different gear ratios for the gearbox. An integrally implemented bearing bracket is removably attached to and enclosed in the gearbox housing and is formed with bearings for the selector shafts, so that these are at least partially carried by the bearing bracket. With the bearing bracket designed as a separate unit, the machining during manufacture and the configuration and manufacturing of the housing will be simplified, thereby reducing the risk of having to reject an entire housing due to incorrect manufacture.

Abstract: An arrangement for facilitating engaging an unsynchronized reverse gear in a motor vehicle manual gearbox, where at least one forward gear is provided with a synchronizing means. A gripping means connected to the selector actuating means obtains force-transmitting connection with the forward gear selector during a part of the changing movement into reverse gear. Said force-transmitting connection is resilient in the shifting direction of the selector.
