Abstract
A transmission shifter for vehicles, the shifter being of the type for transmitting gear shift movements to a transmission through a pair of flexible shielded cables. The shifter comprises a shift lever which is pivotable about mutually orthogonal axes. Pivotal movement of the shifter about one axis is translated into a linear displacement of one of the flexible shielded cables. Pivotal movement of the shifter about the other axis is translated into a linear displacement of the other flexible shielded cable. A push button actuated lockout means is provided for locking out the reverse position.
