All-Plastic Integrated Floor Shifter / Front Console


This modular floor console an/d shifter assembly uses an all-plastic (recycled, injection-molded SMA) structure to support a floor-based shifter and eliminate use of metal bracketry previously used to secure the shifter to the vehicle floor pan.  The integrated system simplifies online assembly and improves package space, thus improving stowage and craftsmanship.  It also reduces cost ($7 USD plus assembly labor) and weight (5 lb / 2.3 kg) vs. earlier designs.
