Abstract

In an automotive transmission shifter of the type mounted directly on the side of an automotive transmission and having a shift stick extending into the vehicle passenger compartment, vibration isolation means disposed between the transmission and the shifter. The shifter includes a plurality of mounting posts formed from the ends of side plate clamping bolts and a carrier pivot shaft bolt. A plurality of elastomer grommets are disposed in an apertured mounting plate adapted to be rigidly mounted to the side of the transmission. The mounting posts are then inserted in the elastomer grommets to suspend the shifter from the side of the transmission.
