Abstract

See full text

A shifter for an automatic transmission is prevented from shifting out of park position when the ignition switch is on unless the service brake is applied. A solenoid-operated blocking member is positioned to selectively block movement of a detent pin to prevent the shift lever from leaving the park position of the shift gate. A circuit including switches responsive to ignition, service brake application and shift lever position controls solenoid activation. A cam responsive to the shift lever release button and to the lever position controls the shift lever position switch.
