Purpose, Function
The shift and select mechanism moves the shift fork to change gears according to the operation of the shift lever in the cabin.
Construction
Shift control module
The moving parts of the shift control module are vertically positioned..
In this module, the control lever which moves the shift rod end is directly assembled to the control rod. In addition, because the control rod moves up and down, the weight of the control rod is utilized when the control rod moves down.
Slide ball bearing
A slide ball bearing has been adopted to the sliding area between the control rod and the transaxle case, and between the control rod and the control case.
In this part, the bearing case moves in the drive and thrust directions.
Compared to the conventional bushing, sliding resistance between the control rod and the transaxle case, and between the control rod and the control case has been reduced.

Shifting operations from neutral to each gear are explained in this section.
