Abstract
An automotive transmission shifting mechanism wherein a gearshift lever whose lower end is connected through a control rod to a control shaft of a transmission pivots about a ball fulcrum mounted on links each of which in turn is supported on the floor for pivotal movement in a vertical plane in parallel with the longitudinal axis of an automotive car, the lower end of the link being pivoted to one end of a support rod which is extended substantially parallel with and upwardly of the control rod and whose the other end is pivoted to a transmission housing, whereby upon displacement of the transmission relative to the car body, the link may be permitted to be swinged relative to the floor and consequently no vibration of the transmission may be transmitted to the knob at the upper end of the shift lever.
