Abstract
A gear shifting device includes a frame, a shifting lever with a positioning pin pivotably attached to the frame, a locking member pivotably attached to the frame for preventing the positioning pin from falling when the shifting lever is in a Parking position, an actuator for operating the locking member and a hand-operated locking disengageable mechanism. The hand-operated locking disengageable mechanism has a disengaging member slidably attached to the frame for moving the locking member to the unlocked position, a compression spring for applying repulsive force on the disengaging member, a core pin removably attached to the frame so as to oppose the disengaging member, the core pin being rotatable between its locked position and unlocked position by aid of a tool and a lid member removably attached to the frame so as to cover the core pin.
