Abstract
A shift lever assembly includes a shift tower and a shift lever supported on the shift tower for movement relative thereto. The shift lever includes a pin. A biasing lever is provided that has a first end and a second end. The second end of the biasing lever is engaged for movement with the pin. A biasing mechanism exerts a force against the first end of the biasing lever such that the second end of the biasing lever exerts a force against the pin. The biasing mechanism is adjustable such that the amount of force exerted by the second end of the biasing lever against the pin can be varied.
