Abstract
A gear shifter for manual transmissions which includes a support, two movable members movable at right angles to each other, and a gear shift lever connected through the movable members and to a bell crank pivotally mounted on the support. The bell crank and one of the movable members are connected to one end of a pair of actuators, the other ends of which are connected to the transmission. The gear shift lever is mounted for movement in two directions at right angles to each other and the connection of the gear shift lever to the movable members and bell crank translates these two right angle movements into parallel movement of the two actuators.
