SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [R15M-D]
id051104633900
Structure
• During shifting, the shift rods, except for the one in operation, are locked in the neutral position by the interlock pins.
Operation
Neutral
-
• Because no shift rod is operated, the interlock pins are seated in the grooves.
1st/2nd shifting
-
• Movement of the 1st/2nd shift rod forces interlock pin A out of the 1st/2nd shift rod groove, and locks the 3rd/4th shift rod. Pin B, forced by pin A, pushes out pin C to lock the 5th/Reverse shift rod.
3rd/4th shifting
-
• Movement of the 3rd/4th shift rod forces out pins A and C, and locks the 1st/2nd and 5th/Reverse shift rods. Pin B does not affect the other pins or shift rods during 3rd/4th shifting.
5th/Reverse shifting
-
• When performing 5th/Reverse shifting, the interlock pins function the same way as in 1st/2nd shifting, except the pin movement order is in reverse, and the 3rd/4th and 1st/2nd shift rods are locked.
