Abstract:
A manual transmission shifter attachment arrangement which provides vibration isolation and precise shifting feel. A fore-aft movable attachment constrains movement of the shifter housing in all directions except a fore-aft direction. A fore-aft linkage causes the shifter housing to move in unison with the driveline in the fore-aft direction and reacts only to applied forces between the driveline and the shifter housing parallel to the fore-aft direction.
