DETENT SHIFTER

$55.18

Description

Function: The detent shifter mechanism ensures that the gear lever stays securely locked into specific gear positions, preventing accidental shifting and providing tactile feedback to the operator.
Design: It consists of spring-loaded detent balls or plungers arranged in a housing or groove along the gear selector shaft. These detents engage with corresponding notches or grooves on the gear selector mechanism, creating distinct positions for each gear.
Operation: When the gear lever is moved, the detent balls or plungers engage with the grooves on the gear selector shaft, creating resistance and a noticeable “click” sensation as the lever locks into place. This provides tactile feedback to the operator, indicating that the gear has been properly selected.
Neutral and Reverse: In particular, the detent shifter mechanism ensures that the gear lever locks securely into the neutral and reverse positions, preventing unintentional engagement of these gears while driving.
Safety and Convenience: The detent shifter enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of gear engagement errors, particularly when shifting into critical gears like reverse. It also improves the overall driving experience by providing a reassuring tactile sensation during gear selection.
