Backup alignment system for an internal mode switch

摘要

A gear selector assembly includes a selector shaft, an internal mode switch mounted on the selector shaft, and a detent lever mounted on the selector shaft and rotatable with the selector shaft. The detent lever is indexed relative to the internal mode switch. A spring assembly is in engagement with the detent lever. The spring assembly has a first member that engages the internal mode switch to prevent the internal mode switch from rotating and has a second member that engages the internal mode switch to prevent the internal mode switch from rotating if the first member does not engage the internal mode switch.
