Getriebe für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer Wähleinrichtung

摘要

The positions of a gear selecting lever in a combined automatically and manually shiftable transmission which is installed in the power train of a motor vehicle are monitored by a first sensor which transmits signals to a control circuit serving to initiate the operation of an actuator for the gear selecting lever. Certain positions of the lever are monitored and reported to the control circuit by one or more additional sensors which influence the operation of the actuator in the event of failure of the first sensor. One of the additional sensors can monitor a first range of positions of the lever including the position when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear, and another additional sensor can monitor a second range of positions of the lever including the position when the transmission is in neutral gear.
