Abstract: An exemplary shift lever includes a mounting assembly, a flexible member coupled to the mounting assembly, and an interface coupled to the flexible member. The flexible member is resilient so as to provide a selected biasing force at a predetermined deformation angle, and flexible enough to elastically deform across a selected angular range. The mounting assembly is configured for connection with the input shaft of a transmission, and the interface is configured for connection with an output of a drive selector.

Abstract: An exemplary drive selector includes a housing, a cam positioned in the housing, a follower coupled to a shaft and in contact with the cam, and a biasing member urging the cam toward the follower. One of the cam and the follower includes at least one protrusion, and the other of the cam and the follower includes a plurality of recesses configured to receive the protrusion. When the protrusion is received in the recess, the force provided by the biasing member resists relative rotation of the cam and the follower.

Abstract: An improved pneumatic tool design includes pneumatic motor chamber that houses a turbine. An air path directs compressed air into the pneumatic motor chamber. The air path includes an air inlet chamber that at least partially surrounds the pneumatic motor chamber. The air path also includes a motor inlet disposed in one side wall (e.g., the top wall) of the pneumatic motor chamber forward of the rear end plate thereof. The air path further includes at least one exhaust port disposed in an opposite side wall (e.g., the bottom wall) of the pneumatic motor chamber. A high-pressure seal, such as an o-ring, surrounds the pneumatic motor chamber and isolates the motor inlet, which is thus at a rear outer portion of the pneumatic motor chamber, from a forward outer portion of the pneumatic motor chamber.
