  • Adjustment mechanism for a transmission indicator
    Patent number: 4788881
    Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for a transmission indicator has a clip member for securement with the shift tube and a cable attachment for securement with a cable connected to the indicator which is alignable with various indicia. The cable attachment is connected with one threaded member and another threaded member is connected with the clip. Relative rotation of the threaded members causes the cable and indicator to move relative to the shift tube to permit adjustment or "zeroing" of the indicator for proper alignment with the indicia.
