Abstract:
1. A remote shifter apparatus for use in a vehicle having a manual transmission including a shift lever, the shifter apparatus comprising: a base for attachment to the vehicle; an elongated shift stick including pivot means pivotally coupling said fourth extremity of said second shift stick component to said base and including means for selectively controlling the stiffness of pivotal motion between said shift stick and said base; a fastener for engaging the shift lever of the vehicle transmission; and a linkage directly coupling a point along the length of said first shift stick component to the fastener to translate shift stick movement to the transmission shift lever, the distance between said point and said fourth extremity of said second shift stick component determining the effective throw-length of said shift stick, wherein adjustment of said coupling means allows the effective throw-length of said shift stick to be selected between a minimum limit and a maximum limit.
