Abstract

A shifter includes a powered pawl mechanism that selectively engages a shift gate. The powered pawl mechanism may include an electrically operated solenoid or the like, and may be mounted to the base of the shifter or to the shift lever. The pawl engages a shift gate that is mounted on the other of the shift lever and the base. A mechanical override may be utilized to disengage the pawl. The shifter includes an electrically operated push button or the like on the shift knob, and may utilize sensors that determine the shift lever position for controlling a transmission.

Description

Background technique [0001] Various types of shifting devices have been developed for controlling manual and automatic transmissions in motor vehicles. Shifting devices for controlling automatic transmissions generally include a shift lever that can be moved to different positions such as park, neutral, drive, etc. . A mechanical release mechanism, including a button in the shift handle, is generally used to release a pawl that holds the shifter in a selected shift position. Such detent mechanisms can be complex, requiring many parts, and the shift lever and handle must be constructed to accommodate the mechanical linkage, constraining the design of the shift lever and handle. Contents of the invention [0002] One aspect of the present invention is a shifter assembly for controlling a motor vehicle transmission, the shifter assembly including a base configured to be mounted to a motor vehicle, a shift lever movably mounted to the base, and a shift lever The lever is movea...
