[§] Range Select Mechanism
The range select mechanism consists of a select lever (on the
floor/center console in the driver's compartment). push-pull
cable, linkages, manual valve, parking pawl, etc.
When the select lever is moved either forward or backward, the
push-pull cable moves in the corresponding direction. This
turns the manual shaft by way of the range select lever. At
this point, the pin at the end of the range select lever turns the
inhibitor switch arm to transmit a range signal to the control
unit.
A manual plate and manual lever are attached to the manual
shaft. The manual plate is fan-shaped and is provided with six
grooves on its edge corresponding to shift ranges (from "P" to
"2"). A detent spring roller fits into the groove corresponding
to the range selected. This regulates effort required to operate
the select lever.
A hydraUlically controlled manual valve is installed on the
lower pin of the manual lever. It slides in response to rotation
of the manual shaft, thereby selecting an oil passage inside the
lower valve body in response to the position (P, R, N, D, 3
or 2) of the select lever.
A parking rod located on the upper portion of the lever
mechanically holds the output shaft when the select lever is
sh ifted to "P".
