An apparatus and system for actuating a manual gearbox, particularly of a motorcycle having a drive engine, and for carrying out a gear change while the clutch is engaged between the drive engine and the manual gearbox. The apparatus has a selector shaft, which can be actuated rotationally, and a gear-selector drum, which can be actuated rotationally. The gear-changing apparatus has a gear-change lever provided for actuating the selector shaft, and is adapted for influencing the output torque of the drive engine. One or more magnetic sensor(s), such as Hall effect sensors, are provided for sensing rotational actuation of the selector shaft and, optionally, for sensing rotational actuation of the gear selector drum. The sensor(s) send a signal to a controller and mechanisms known for affecting a change in gear to a lower or higher gear.

The present invention relates to a gearshift device for transmitting a gear shifting operation to a driving gear assembly, and can provide a gearshift device with simplified configuration for left-right pivot operation of the gearshift.

A shift device of a transmission includes: a cylindrical or columnar shift cam that is formed, at an outer circumferential surface of the shift cam, with a cam groove for operating a shift fork; a drive plate that oscillates by rotation of a shift pedal shaft; a shift cam plate that is fixed to one end portion of the shift cam and rotates the shift cam according to the oscillation of the drive plate; a shift cam sensor that detects a rotation angle of the shift cam; and a transmission shaft that transmits the rotation of the shift cam to the shift cam sensor, as defined herein.

Installation of a bushing into the shift cable end of an automatic transmission, without replacing the entire shift cable end, is accomplished via a method that does not require the use of compression tools and maintains the axial alignment of the bushing with the shift cable end during installation, thus preventing deformation of the shift cable end and bushing during installation, and ensuring the proper coupling of the shift cable end and shift lever. In one particular embodiment of the invention, the bushing may be installed by radially compressing the leading shoulder of the bushing and passing the bushing through the shift cable end, then releasing the leading shoulder of the bushing so that it engages the shift cable end and secures the bushing in place. This can be accomplished by pressing a bushing into the cavity of a tool having a cylindrical member with a first side and a second side, a cavity within the first side of the cylindrical member, and an elongated member extending perpendicularly from the second side of the cylindrical member, inserting said tool into one end of the shift cable end and passing the leading shoulder of the bushing beyond and through the shift cable end, thereby releasing the leading shoulder of the bushing to expand and secure the bushing.

The present disclosure relates to a switch module for a gearbox, in particular a motor vehicle gearbox, with a housing, a switching shaft and a control lever for moving the switching shaft relative to the housing. The housing has an interface for temporarily fastening an assembly device. The control lever has an interface for interacting with the assembly device fastened to the housing interface for limiting its actuating path.

A joystick control is disclosed for a change speed gearbox having a support body, an axle rotatably supported by the body, an operating lever connected to the axle by a pivot pin having an axis perpendicular to that of the axle such that the operating lever is rotatable about the axis of the axle and is pivotable relative to the axle about the axis of the pivot pin, two actuating members rotatably supported by the axle and arranged one on each side of the operating lever, each actuating member being connectible to a respective Bowden cable to extend and retract the cable in response to rotation of the actuating member about the axle, and mating formations on the operating lever and the actuating members operative to engage the operating lever selectively for rotation with one or the other of the actuating members in dependence upon the direction in which the operating lever is pivoted relative to the axle about the pivot pin. Resiliently biased detents are provided between the support body and the actuating members or the operating lever to resist rotation of the operating lever away from at least one defined stable position.

Installation of a bushing into the shift cable end of an automatic transmission, without replacing the entire shift cable end, is accomplished via methods and specialized tools that do not divert the force applied by compressive tools away from the non-load-bearing surfaces of the bushing and shift cable end, and maintain the axial alignment of the bushing with the shift cable end during installation, thus preventing deformation of the shift cable end and bushing during installation, and ensuring the proper coupling of the shift cable end and shift lever. In particular embodiments, a shift cable end protective member is secured to the shift cable end, a bushing installation member is inserted into the bushing, through the shift cable end and into the protective member, and a compressive force is applied simultaneously to the protective member and installation member, thus pressing the bushing into place within the shift cable end. The protective member and installation member work in tandem to divert the compressive force away from the shift cable end, average the compressive force across the bushing, and maintain the alignment of the bushing with the shift cable end as the bushing is pressed into the shift cable end.
