Gear Shift Bellows
Gear shift bellows are flexible rubber or elastomer components designed to protect the gear shift mechanism in manual and automatic transmission systems from external contaminants. They accommodate the movement of the gear lever during shifting while preventing the ingress of dust, dirt, moisture, and liquids. In addition to their protective function, they also contribute to the overall appearance and finish of the vehicle interior.
Rubber gear shift bellows operate under continuous movement and therefore require excellent flexibility, tear resistance, and long-term durability. ATC Rubber manufactures custom gear shift bellows in a variety of sizes, rubber compounds, and designs to suit different vehicle models and industrial equipment.
