Abstract
A gearshift lever and a method of forming the lever is disclosed. The lever includes a one-piece shaft with a functional end and an operative end, the functional end being cold formed to a specific configuration for mechanical cooperation with components auxiliary to the lever. A channel region is provided along the shaft between the functional and operative ends for running electrical wire between the functional and operative ends, and a shaft covering material surrounds the channel region for containing the electrical wire within the channel region. The cold forming of the functional end of the lever reduces the cost of manufacturing the lever. In an alternative embodiment, the shaft of the lever is provided with a hollow bore along the length of the shaft for enclosing the wires.
