Transaxle Control

Spherical shift knob has been employed.

The shape of the shift knob has been designed with top priority given to the operationability during sporty driving, and its size is designed with consideration to a better fit with a racing glove. Using genuine leather and soft material, damage to the hand during endurance race will be reduced.

For LANCER EVOLUTION < MR edition > shift lever assembly, the conventional reverse position of the 5M/T shift lever assembly has been replaced with the 6th gear position and the reverse position has been equipped on the right side of the 6th gear position. For this reason, the preventive mechanism for accidentally shifting into reverse gear during shifting operation from the 5th gear to the 6th gear has been employed.

Using the stroke stopper equipped with the reverse shift prevention mechanism, the shifting stroke of the shift lever assembly ensures the same stroke operation of the 5 M/T shift lever assembly.
