A shift control mechanism for an automatic transmission includes a housing having a shift control pattern with a longitudinal portion defining a plurality of automatic transmission operating settings and a transverse portion at one end of the longitudinal portion defining a plurality of manual transmission operating settings, a shift lever which is manually movable along the shift control portion for selecting the automatic transmission operating settings and for selecting the manual transmission operating settings, and a proximity switch assembly actuated by moving the shift lever to a first position in the transverse portion to send a signal to manually upshift the automatic transmission and to a second position in the transverse portion opposite the first position to send a signal to manually downshift the automatic transmission.

Shift control mechanism to manually shift an automatic transmission

A concrete saw is provided having an engine aligned along a longitudinal axis of the saw frame to minimize the width of the saw and provide a more balanced system. A clutch assembly is attached to a forward end of the engine to disengage the saw blade without stopping the engine. A right angle gear box is provided proximate the driven side of the clutch assembly to transfer driving rotational forces from the engine to a transversely aligned driven shaft. The driven shaft includes drive pulleys mounted upon opposite ends thereof, which are aligned with driven pulleys mounted upon opposite ends of a blade support shaft and linked to one another via multiple belts. This alignment evenly balances the load transfer while facilitating the use of vibration isolators between the engine, gear box and frame. A hydraulically controlled depth stop mechanism is included for setting a maximum cut depth. The engine speed is controlled by an electronic governor. A multi-speed transmission is included to afford high and low ranges for the saw. A single control lever is provided to shift between high and low ranges, between forward and reverse directions, and to raise and lower the saw.

Self propelled saw

A shifter for an automatic transmission includes a base, a detent member attached to the base, and a shift lever pivotally attached to the base by a ball and socket pivot for multi-axial movement along a configured shift pattern. The shift pattern includes a first shift path segment for shifting the transmission in an automatic mode, a second shift path segment for shifting the transmission in a manual mode, and a transverse path segment for moving between the first and second path segments. In one form the shift pattern is H-shaped, and the shifter includes a pair of switches connected to a vehicle shift control circuit for upshifting and downshifting as the shift lever is selectively moved along the second shift path segment. In the shifter with the H-shaped pattern, an upper and lower leg are pivoted to the base. The lower leg is configured to interconnect with a linkage for operating the automatic transmission, and the upper leg is configured to engage the shift lever when the shift lever is in the first shift path segment but disengage the shift lever when the shift lever is in the second shift path segment. In another form the shift pattern is S-shaped, and the shifter is adapted to, in the manual mode, shift the automatic transmission to specific forward gears (eg first, second, third or overdrive gears) as the shift lever is moved to particular positions along the second shift path segment. The shifter preferably includes a brake-ignition-transmission-shift-interlock system including a bell crank pivoted to the detent member to control movement of the shift lever out of the park position.

Automatic transmission shifter with manual shift mode

A method of shifting in a manual mode of an electronically-controlled automatic transmission system includes the steps of determining whether a shift lever of a shift lever mechanism is presenting a position error when the shift lever is in a manual position, determining whether at least one switch on the shift lever mechanism is presenting an error if a shift lever position error is not determined, determining whether a temperature of an automatic transmission or engine coolant temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold if the at least one switch is not presenting an error, determining whether the manual position conditions have been met, determining whether an upshift or downshift of the automatic transmission is scheduled if the manual position conditions have been met, and executing either an upshift or a downshift of the automatic transmission based on the determined upshift or downshift being scheduled.

Method of shifting in a manual mode of an electronically-controlled automatic transmission system

A method of displaying a shift lever position for an electronically-controlled automatic transmission system having an automatic transmission (12), a shift lever mechanism (14), a transmission controller (16) interconnecting the automatic transmission (12) and the shift lever mechanism (14), a body controller (202), and a communication bus (204) interconnecting the transmission controller (16) and a body controller (202), the method comprising the steps of sending a gear position indicator message from the transmission controller (16) to the body controller (202), determining from the gear position indicator message whether the transmission system is in an automatic or manual mode of operation, indicating a position of the shift lever mechanism (14) if the transmission system is in the automatic mode of operation, and indicating a gear selected of the automatic transmission if the transmission system is in a manual mode of operation period.

Method of displaying a shift lever position for an electronically-controlled automatic transmission system

A selector mechanism for a vehicle transmission comprising an automatic transmission coupled to a range-change transmission having first and second ranges includes a ratio selector lever movable along three paths defined by an H-shaped gaze. The first path is defined by a first limb of the gate for shift selection in the automatic transmission with the first range of the range-change transmission selected. The second path is defined by a second limb of the gate substantially parallel with the first limb for shift selection in the automatic transmission with the second range of the range-change transmission selected and the third, transverse, path is defined by a limb of the gate transverse to the first and second limbs. Movement of the selector lever along the transverse path effects a change from one range to the other in the range-change transmission.
