In a remote shifter for a vehicle transmission, a transmitter unit is located near the vehicle operator while a receiver unit is mounted on the transmission. The transmitter and receiver are coupled by flexible push-pull cables that transfer the motion of the gear shift lever operated by the vehicle operator of the transmission to select and engage the desired gears in the transmission. The shift lever is operable in two independent modes of pivotal motion about orthogonal axes. Motion in the first mode controls gear fail selection in the transmission and motion in the second mode controls gear engagement. The transmitter couples the gear shift lever to the cables so that pivotal motion of the gear shift lever in a transverse plane is translated to linear motion of the select control cable while pivotal motion of the gear shift lever in the fore/aft plane is translated to linear motion of a second shift control cable. The transmitter maintains the motion of the two cables independent of one another. The gear shift lever is mounted to the vehicle by a mounting apparatus that maintains the shift lever orthogonal to the transverse axis at all times regardless of the motion of the shift lever in either the fore/aft or transverse planes.

A dual push-pull cable controlled remote gearshift mechanism in which a control shaft is rocked about one axis to swing one cable actuator member and is rocked about a second axis transverse to the first to swing a second cable actuator member, with the coupling between the first cable and the first actuator member being substantially aligned with the transverse axis and offset from the longitudinal axis, and with the operating connection between the second actuator member and the second cable being substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the control shaft and offset from the transverse axis thereof. In the receiver unit, first and second coaxially interengaged shifter members are coupled to the respective cables through lever-type actuated members, one through a form of coupling that shifts one such shifter member axially in relation to the other, and the other coupling being such as to rotate the shifter members conjointly through the first shifter member in any of its axially shifted positions.

The transmitter and receiver are coupled by flexible push-pull cables that transfer the motion of a gearshift lever operated by the vehicle operator to the transmission to select and engage the desired gears in the transmission. The shift lever is operable in two independent modes of pivotal motion about orthogonal axes. Motion in a first mode controls gear rail selection in the transmission and motion in a second mode controls gear engagement. The transmitter couples the gearshift lever to the cables so that pivotal motion of the gearshift lever in a transverse plane is translated to linear motion of the select control cable while pivotal motion of the gearshift lever in the fore/aft plane is translated to linear motion of the shift control cable. The transmitter maintains the motion of the two cables independent of one another. The receiver translates linear motion of the select control cable into linear motion of an output shaft that couples the receiver to the vehicle transmission and translates linear motion of the shift control cable into rotational motion of the same output shaft.

A push-pull cable-type actuator comprises a sheath comprising a plurality of sheath strands arranged in side edge-abutting, long-lay helices, the abutting side edges of the strands being wedge shaped, and a motion-transmission core member mounted for guided longitudinal movement within the sheath.
