Abstract: A gear shifter system (200) for achieving mixed transmission modes in a saddle type vehicle (10), includes a mechanical interface (226) configured with a pre-defined profile and adapted at a center portion of a gear shift lever (202). The mechanical interface (226) facilitates any one of a first operation mode or a second operation mode, where the first operation mode is achieved by allowing unimpeded rotation of the driven shaft (210), and the second operation mode is achieved by configuring an actuator (204) to be operatively engaged with the mechanical interface (226). The actuator (204) includes an actuator shaft (206) which rotates in a clockwise direction or an anti-clockwise direction to block the coupling of the driven shaft (210) with the mechanical interface (226), thereby enabling a user to transit seamlessly between the first operation mode and the second operation mode in the vehicle (10).
