Abstract

See full text

A vehicle automatic transmission selector apparatus which can suppress backlash of teeth of a gear arrangement of a lever bracket and a select-link to improve operability of the selector lever by urging the select-link along its pivotal axis so that the teeth of the select-link are urged onto the teeth of the lever bracket. Brackets (1a) and (1b) are to be secured on a body of a vehicle. A selector lever (2) is pivotally supported on the brackets (1a) and (1b). A lever bracket (3) is arranged at a base end of the selector lever (2) and includes sector gear teeth (3a). A selector-link (4), for actuating a transmission via a wire W interposed between the selector-link (4) and the transmission, includes sector gear teeth (4a) to mate with the sector gear teeth (3a) of the lever bracket (3). The selector-link (4) is rotated by the pivotal motion of the selector lever (2). Tooth surfaces of the teeth (3a) and (4a) of the lever bracket (3) and the select-link (4) are tapered. An urging mechanism (7), (8) and (9) urges the select-link (4) along its pivotal axis so that the teeth (4a) of the select-link (4) are urged on to the teeth (3a) of the lever bracket (3).
