A gear shift linkage mechanism includes a gear shift linkage assembly and a spherical bowl for connecting to a gear shift rocker arm. The gear shift linkage assembly includes a connecting member, a gear shift linkage, a first elastic element, and a second elastic element. One end of the connecting member is connected with the spherical bowl, one end of the gear shift linkage is movably configured in the cavity. One end of the first elastic element presses against the limiting portion, and another end of the first elastic element is supported on the cavity. One end of the second elastic element presses against the limiting portion, and another end of the second elastic element is supported on the first through hole. The gear shift linkage mechanism efficiently improves the buffering and damping effect of the gear shift linkage assembly, and thus prevents damage of the transmission.
