A paddle switch system comprises a housing, a paddle having a pivot member pivotally disposed in the housing for operating an electrical switch within the housing in response to a force on the paddle, a cover coupled to the housing wherein the housing and the cover partially enclose the paddle, and a vibration reduction mechanism disposed in the housing proximate the pivot member of the paddle. The electrical switch comprises a dome switch and the paddle is disposed in the housing to partially preload the dome switch.

A shift lever assembly may include a shift lever housing having a shift lever rotatably coupled thereto in a shift direction, a front and back direction of a vehicle, and a select direction, a left and right direction of the vehicle; a base bracket configured to be coupled to the shift lever housing and fixedly disposed on a vehicle body; and a fastener configured to extend in the shift direction to couple the shift lever housing and the base bracket to each other.

A control element, in particular a shifting device for manually selecting and/or triggering functions in a motor vehicle, having a handle that is mounted in such a way on and/or in a housing that the handle can be moved manually. A drive is situated in the housing, such that the drive is in operative connection and/or can be brought into operative connection with the handle, and the handle can be positioned non-manually by the drive and/or the manual movement of the handle can be blocked and/or the manual movement of the handle can be enabled. An elastic element is provided on the drive and/or in the housing, such that the drive is decoupled acoustically from the housing.

A shifter lever for a transmission of a motor vehicle includes a shifter tube extending between an upper end and a lower end. The lower end including an attachment member configured to be attached to the vehicle transmission for controlling an operation thereof. The shifter lever also includes a liner of foam rubber material disposed in the shifter tube and along a substantially entire length thereof for reducing vibration in the shifter tube. The liner is injected into the shifter tube and cured in place to conform to an interior surface of the shifter tube and to adhere to the interior surface of the shifter tube.

The damping mechanism comprising a damping element suitable for absorbing impacts from a movable part of the shift selector assembly. The damping mechanism comprising a and a support member to which the damping element is rotatably mounted. A shift selector assembly is also provided. The assembly includes a fixed part, a moveable part, a damping element, and a support member. The movable part can be moved relative to the fixed part and biased onto a contoured surface. The damping element absorbs impacts from the moveable part of the shift selector. The support member is rotatably mounted to the damping element.

A working vehicle, including: an HST pedal which operates an HST; a damper arm which interlocks with an HST pedal rotation-shaft of the HST pedal; a damper attached to the damper arm; and a transmission case, wherein the transmission case has a first transmission case swelling part swelling to at least one side with respect to a left-and-right direction, and the damper is arranged behind the first transmission case swelling part.

A vibration isolation system reduces rattling in a reverse lockout mechanism for a manual shifter. A shaft retained in a shifter housing has an upper end for a shift knob and an enlarged barrel section proximate the housing. A lockout skirt slides on the shaft between upper and lower positions. The lockout skirt has a shoulder extending radially outward, and the housing includes a stop block such that the shaft is prevented from pivoting to a reverse gear position when the lockout skirt is in the lower position and is free to move to the reverse gear position when the lockout skirt is in the upper position. A spring retained on the shaft biases the lockout skirt toward the lower position. A plurality of lubricated O-rings are disposed on the shaft to define sliding interfaces between the lockout skirt and the shaft and between the lockout skirt and the barrel.

A transmission shifter assembly includes a shifter and a shifter bezel. The shifter includes a shifter body and a shifter handle movably coupled to the shifter body. The shifter bezel includes a bezel body and defines a handle opening extending through the bezel body. The handle opening is sized to partially receive the shifter handle. The shifter handle extends through the handle opening. The transmission shifter assembly further includes a plurality of locating features, such as shock absorbers, interconnecting the shifter bezel and the shifter body in order to align the shifter bezel relative to the shifter.

A gearshift lever for selecting a gear ratio of a motor vehicle transmission may include a body formed of an injection molded plastic material. The gearshift lever may further include a component that is at least partially integrated into the gearshift lever via the injection molded plastic material, where the component is at least one of a mechatronic component and a mechanical component.

A shifter lever for a transmission of a motor vehicle includes a shifter tube extending between an upper end and a lower end. The lower end including an attachment member configured to be attached to the vehicle transmission for controlling an operation thereof. The shifter lever also includes a liner of foam rubber material disposed in the shifter tube and along a substantially entire length thereof for reducing vibration in the shifter tube. The liner is injected into the shifter tube and cured in place to conform to an interior surface of the shifter tube and to adhere to the interior surface of the shifter tube.
