Abstract

A shift rocker for use in a gear shift mechanism, includes a bracket of forked configuration, with the bracket having spaced-apart sidewalls in parallel relation for axially displacing a shift sleeve, and an arched cross member interconnecting the sidewalls. Connected to the cross member of the bracket for introduction of force is a rail which includes, directly or indirectly, a shift slot for engagement of a shift finger in fixed rotative engagement with a shift shaft, a latch contour for a separate stationary shift latching means, and a receiving member for engagement of a locking lever of a locking unit to inhibit a shifting movement of the shift rocker when the shift rocker is inactive.
