Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A latching shifter mated with a shift-by-wire transmission in which the gear cam includes a momentary shift lever position which is spring biased toward the drive gear notch. A driver is enabled to shift the transmission into a desired gear by passing the shift lever into and out of the momentary shift lever position in the event of autonomous shifting by the transmission or to otherwise provide a selected gear of the transmission. Preferably a dynamically changeable gear shift display is provided, the indicia of which is responsive to the gear status of the transmission.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A latching shifter with adaptive position and a shift-by-wire transmission, comprising: a shift-by-wire transmission comprising electronics for shifting gears of said shift-by-wire transmission in response to manual selection by a driver and to autonomous selection by said electronics; and a latching shifter connected to said electronics for manual selection of gears of said shift-by-wire transmission, said latching shifter comprising: a shift lever…
