The gear change assembly is
bolted to the transmission tunnel via a floater bracket. A pin and retainer
connects the shift rod to the transmissions selector shaft. A steady rod is
fitted between the gear change mechanism and the rear of the transmission
casing. The rod is held in place by means of a clevis pin for added strength and
rigidity.
The gear lever incorporates a vibration attenuator to reduce
any Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) generated by the powertrain
components.

Bias springs within the transmission provide a positive return
of the gear lever to the neutral position with selection of 1st/2nd, 5th/6th and
reverse gears being against bias spring pressure. Spring-loaded detents on the
selector rod and x-gate butterfly within the transmission, provide positive gear
and neutral selection.
