Overview — Shaft Lever 185-6135
185-6135 is the shaft lever used on CUMMINS transmission installations to transfer control movement between the linkage and the shaft, providing the positive actuation the shift mechanism requires. We can supply this lever as well as related CUMMINS transmission control parts, in stock or available on order — welcome to enquire by part number.
Parts Characteristics
The lever is forged or machined to the original geometry, with the bore and keyway sized to the shaft and the arm positioned at the correct angle. The material provides the strength for the shift loads without flex, and the pivot and connection points are machined for smooth movement. The lever holds the linkage rod or cable at the correct height and throw. As an OEM-spec lever, it restores the original control geometry and shift feel.
Applicable Models & Applications
This shaft lever is used on CUMMINS transmission installations where the specified control linkage applies, including the shift shaft and control connections on the relevant transmission series. The family reference 185-6172 covers the same lever duty on adjacent builds. Typical applications include construction equipment, industrial drives and other installations with mechanical transmission controls. Confirm the bore size, keyway and arm angle against the lever removed from your transmission before ordering.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect the lever for worn bores, bent arms, loose connection points and worn keyways. A worn lever lets the shift linkage move without transmitting the full movement, causing missed shifts and gear selection problems. When replacing, align the lever at the original angle on the shaft, fit the key or spline, and secure the connection point to the linkage. Verify the full shift travel and the neutral position after assembly.

Value & Service
Shift feel depends on the exact lever geometry, so we verify 185-6135 against the CUMMINS transmission specification and confirm the bore and arm angle before dispatch. We stock the lever and the related linkage hardware and can ship them with the control cable and pin package in one tracked order. Our team will confirm the correct lever for your transmission build.
