Abstract
The selecting rod (5) is pivotally mounted on the gear box (1) by a ball joint (12) and carries, close to the latter, a selecting lever (7, 14). One arm of this lever carries a retractable finger member (18) actuated by a cable (19). This finger member normally cooperates with an abutment (22) of the gear box so as to prevent the selection of the reverse speed, except when a pull is exerted on the cable by raising a sleeve (26) which is slidable on the gear shift lever (4). Application of the device is suited to automobile vehicles.
