DESCRIPTION

The set of outside gearshifting controls differs in two types according to the type of gearbox used.

For the 2.0 T.S. 16v engine the traditional solution with rods and tie-rods has been adopted.

For the 3.0 V6 engine, a cable control system has been used which, in addition to improving the maintainability of the system, compared with the conventional system, it enables a considerable reduction of vibrations and the resulting noise, at the same time improving smoothness and precision in gear engagement: also for this version a gearbox control with syn-

chronized reverse has been adopted: this is an innovative system which improves the engagement of reverse gear and prevents it from being engaged without synchronization.

This type of control is made with the addition of a supplementary cable, in addition to the two normal gear engagement and selection control cables.

The end of the cable, formed of a pin, locks the axial movement of the reverse gear selection fork.

Raising the sleeve under the lever knob, the cable is pulled, therefore also the pin which leaves the movement of the fork free thereby allowing engagement of reverse gear.
