Abstract

See full text

A shift mechanism for a vehicle includes a detent plate having a notch defining a park gear position, a shift lever with a handle, the shift lever being pivotally movable with respect to the detent plate, and a solenoid driven slideable plate movably attached to the shift lever and having a pawl-like tooth for engaging the notch and holding the shift lever in the park gear position. A solenoid is mounted to the shift lever and directly connected to the slideable plate for controlling the movement of the slideable plate, and hence in turn controlling the movement of the shift lever out of the park gear position. The solenoid includes a solenoid coil which is operably connected to a manually actuatable switch located on the shift lever handle.
