Abstract: In at least some implementations, a shifter for a vehicle transmission includes a shift member and a cable actuator. The shift member is pivoted at a first pivot for movement between multiple positions corresponding to multiple transmission gears. The cable actuator pivoted at a second pivot, driven for movement about the second pivot by movement of the shift member about the first pivot and has a cable connector adapted to be connected to a shift cable that is associated with the vehicle transmission, wherein the first pivot is arranged about a first axis and the second pivot is arranged about a second axis that is not parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: A shifter for a transmission includes a shift member, a lock member and an actuator. The shift member is movable among at least a first and second positions corresponding to first and second transmission gears. The lock member is movable between first and second lock positions. The actuator has a first position when not actuated and a second position when actuated, and the actuator is coupled to the lock member to move the lock member relative to the shift member. When the shift member and actuator are in their first positions, the lock member is in its first lock position movement of the shift member out of the first position is prevented. When the shift member and actuator are in their second positions the lock member is in its second lock position and movement of the shift member out of the second position is prevented.
