Gear shifter assembly for a vehicle comprising: - a base to be fixed in a vehicle, - a shifter yoke mounted to the base by a main pivot shaft to be pivotable about a first pivotal axis and comprising a cable connector at a distance to its first pivotal axis for connection to a cable for transferring pivotal shifter yoke movements to a transmission, - a shift lever mounted to the shifter yoke by a pivotal bearing arranged to allow pivotal movements of the shift lever with respect to the shifter yoke about a second pivotal axis perpendicular to the first pivotal axis between at least two pivotal positions about the second pivotal axis, - an engagement mechanism providing positive engagement of the shift lever and the shifter yoke with respect to pivotal movements about the first pivotal axis such that the shifter yoke is pivoted about the first pivotal axis when the shift lever is pivoted about the first pivotal axis, wherein the engagement mechanism is arranged to provide this positive engagement in at least one of the two pivotal positions of the shift lever about the second pivotal axis, characterized in that - an intermediate joint provides the pivotal bearing of the shift lever and is attached to the lower end of it by receiving select pivot pins projecting from the shift lever in recesses of the intermediate joint, - the intermediate joint comprises opposite through holes which), when the intermediate joint is attached to the shift lever, are aligned with an aperture in the lower end portion of the shift lever for receiving the main pivot shaft which is supported by the base and extends along the first pivotal axis through a bore in the shifter yoke, the through holes of the intermediate joint and the aperture of the shifter lever to support them, and - the intermediate joint is made of a material having a lower modulus of elasticity than the materials of the shift lever and the shifter yoke. - a base to be fixed in a vehicle, - a shifter yoke mounted to the base by a main pivot shaft to be pivotable about a first pivotal axis and comprising a cable connector at a distance to its first pivotal axis for connection to a cable for transferring pivotal shifter yoke movements to a transmission, - a shift lever mounted to the shifter yoke by a pivotal bearing arranged to allow pivotal movements of the shift lever with respect to the shifter yoke about a second pivotal axis perpendicular to the first pivotal axis between at least two pivotal positions about the second pivotal axis, - an engagement mechanism providing positive engagement of the shift lever and the shifter yoke with respect to pivotal movements about the first pivotal axis such that the shifter yoke is pivoted about the first pivotal axis when the shift lever is pivoted about the first pivotal axis, wherein the engagement mechanism is arranged to provide this positive engagement in at least one of the two pivotal positions of the shift lever about the second pivotal axis, characterized in that - an intermediate joint provides the pivotal bearing of the shift lever and is attached to the lower end of it by receiving select pivot pins projecting from the shift lever in recesses of the intermediate joint, - the intermediate joint comprises opposite through holes which), when the intermediate joint is attached to the shift lever, are aligned with an aperture in the lower end portion of the shift lever for receiving the main pivot shaft which is supported by the base and extends along the first pivotal axis through a bore in the shifter yoke, the through holes of the intermediate joint and the aperture of the shifter lever to support them, and - the intermediate joint is made of a material having a lower modulus of elasticity than the materials of the shift lever and the shifter yoke.
