How does a 4 speed shifter work in a GM Muncie?

The factory GM Muncie 4-speed shifter had no spring mechanism in the shifter other than to lift the reverse lock-out rod. Since it could flop left or right, it was clumsy to speed shift. You never knew the actual location of the shift gates.

How does a column mounted transmission shifter work?

In order to create a column-mounted shifter, the actual transmission shift mechanism now had to have a series of external shifter shafts, linkage arms, shift rods, and levers for this design to be feasible. These new components required a redesign of the actual transmission to incorporate the addition of all these extra components.

How does a manual transmission shifter work in a muscle car?

To align these shifters a 1/4-inch rod is pushed through the shifter body and the three gates. The rod aligns the gates with each other and centralizes the gates within the shifter body. The factory T5 shifter is simply a lever that pivots on a ball socket. Side-to-side and forward-to-backward motions both ride on this ball socket.

How does the shifter work on a Jerico transmission?

By pulling the lever up, the shifter is positioned with the top gate. Releasing the lever allows the springs to pull the shifter’s arm vertically down each gate and eliminates the need for a conventional H-pattern. Jerico Transmission’s air shifter has solenoid valves that route a high-pressure volume of air from one passage to another.
