Shift Mechanism (See Shift Mechanism Figure)
When the driver moves the shift lever from side to side, the shaft in the shift tower is rotated about its axis. The dog at the front end of the shaft contacts the engaging lever and moves it from side to side. The knob on the engaging lever is then moved to one of the three shift forks. Once the shift fork is selected, the shift lever is moved either forward or backward, causing the fork shaft to move forward or backward.
Attached to the fork shaft are the shift forks which are used to engage the gears.
