Select Lever

The automatic transmission's select lever moves through seven positions.
The select lever makes shift direction (longitudinal) movements as well as select direction (lateral) movements. The select lever is guided by a gate to make these movements.
To transmit movements of the select lever to the transmission, a push-pull cable is used.
The select lever mechanism has a detent spring and a detent arm. It ensures more precise positioning of the select lever.
The select lever base is provided with a shift lock mechanism, N-R lock mechanism (turbo models) and a shift lock release button.
