Manual Transmission Gearshift Interlock Switch
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Manual Transmission Gearshift Interlock Switch is a safety feature found in Mitsubishi FUSO® commercial trucks. This switch is responsible for preventing the driver from shifting the vehicle into gear without first depressing the clutch pedal. The switch is located on the transmission and is activated when the clutch pedal is depressed. If the switch fails, the vehicle may be able to shift into gear without the clutch pedal being depressed, which can be dangerous for the driver and other motorists on the road. It is important to regularly inspect and replace this switch to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle. In addition to its safety function, the Manual Transmission Gearshift Interlock Switch also helps to prolong the life of the clutch by preventing unnecessary wear and tear. By requiring the clutch pedal to be depressed before shifting gears, the switch ensures that the clutch is disengaged before the transmission is shifted. This reduces the strain on the clutch and helps to prevent premature wear and failure. Overall, the Manual Transmission Gearshift Interlock Switch is an important component of the transmission system in Mitsubishi FUSO® commercial trucks, providing both safety and longevity benefits.
