Abstract
A transmission control useable with a transmission of the type having a first change gear mechanism for establishing a plurality of drive speeds and a second change gear mechanism for establishing either a forward or reverse drive for each of said plurality of drive gears, the transmission control including stop means capable of preventing the transmission from operating in one or more selected reverse speeds to prevent high speed reverse operation of a vehicle employing the transmission.
Claims3
A transmission control for use with a transmission of the type having a first change gear mechanism for establishing a plurality of drive speeds and a second change gear mechanism for establishing either a forward or reverse drive for each of said plurality of drive speeds, said transmission control including:
- first shift lever means shiftable between a plurality of positions corresponding to each of said plurality of drive speeds;
- a first tube assembly interconnecting the first shift lever means with the first change gear mechanism;
- second shift lever means shiftable between forward and reverse positions;
- and
- a second tube assembly interconnecting the second shift lever means with the second change gear mechanism, the second tube assembly being coaxially disposed about the first tube assembly;
- said transmission control means being further characterized by the combination therewith of
- stop means mounted on the second tube assembly and contactable by the first shift lever means to prevent the transmission from operating in one or more selected reverse speeds.
