Title: Mechanism for preventing unintentional selection of reverse ratio
Inventor: KOBAYASHI TOSHIO
IPC: F16H63/00
Filed: 1985-06-19
Abstract: A reverse check mechanism for preventing a shift lever from moving from a fifth gear position to a reverse gear position. The mechanism has a slidable shaft and a slidable and rotatable cam. The slidable shaft and cam have engaging portions which engage with an arm when the shift lever is shifted to the neutral position between both the gear positions, and the cam has a recess having an edge adapted to engage with the arm. The cam is stopped from rotating to the reverse gear position from the neutral position. The recess of the cam is so arranged that when the shift lever is shifted to the fifth gear position, the arm corresponds to the recess, so that the cam is moved by a spring so as to engage the edge of the recess with the arm, whereby the movement of the arm from the neutral position to the reverse gear position is prevented.
