Abstract:
1. A shifter assembly comprising: a shift lever adapted to be connected to a housing for pivotable motion relative to the housing; an actuation member connected to the shift lever and movable relative thereto between a first position and a second position; a coupling connected to the shift lever and including a first member and a second member slidably engaging each other; a first cable having a first end connected to the second member and a second end adapted to be coupled to a reverse lockout mechanism; a second cable connected to the actuation member and the second member of the coupling such that movement of the actuation member relative to the shift lever causes corresponding motion of the second member relative to the shift lever; and wherein movement of the actuation member from the first position to the second position is adapted to cause corresponding movement of the reverse lockout mechanism to allow movement of the shift lever into a reverse gear position.
