SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM OPERATION [G35M-R]

Structure

• During shifting, the shift rods, except for the one in operation, are locked in the neutral position by the interlock sleeve.

Neutral condition

• The interlock sleeve fits into the notches of the 1st/2nd and 5th/reverse shift forks.

The control lever fits into the notch of the 3rd/4th shift fork.

Select condition

• The shift lever is moved laterally to the 1st/2nd position.

Both the control lever and the interlock sleeve turn in the direct shown by the arrow.

The control lever fits into the notch of the 1st/2nd shift fork.

The interlock sleeve fits into the notches of the 3rd/4th and 5th/reverse shift forks.

Shift condition

• The shift lever is moved vertically to the 2nd position.

The control lever moves up the 1st/2nd shift fork and the change to 2nd gear is complete.

The interlock sleeve holds the 3rd/4th and 5th/reverse shift forks at the neutral position, preventing double engagement of gears.

The operation procedure is the same for other gear positions.
