Provided is an automotive transmission, and more specifically, an automotive transmission that prevents the occurrence of unnecessary handling feedback when a gear shift lever is operated. The automotive transmission includes a gear shift lever, a rotation unit configured to rotate together with the gear shift lever, a first gear unit disposed at a first side of the rotation unit to be rotated around a rotation axis of the rotation unit together with the rotation unit, a second gear unit configured to switch between a coupled position, at which the second gear unit is coupled to the first gear unit, and a separated position, at which the second gear unit is separated from the first gear unit, and a driving unit configured to change a position of the second gear unit and provide a driving force to the second gear unit.

A shift-by-wire (SBW) column shifter for a vehicle includes a shift lever configured to be moved to shift gears. A shaft enables the shift lever to rotate the shaft about an axis. A lever detent is coupled to the shaft, enabling the shaft to rotate the lever detent about the axis. A slider magnet is constrained to move along a path, such as a linear path. The slider magnet has a groove that is engaged by a projection of the lever detent. Rotation of the lever detent about the axis is converted into movement of the slider magnet along the path via the engagement of the projection and the groove. A plurality of sensors are configured to output signals indicating a position of the slider magnet along the path to indicate a requested change in operating gear of the vehicle.

A system generates haptic feedback in an electric vehicle. The system comprises a frame, an energy storage device, and a wheel rotatably coupled to the frame. A motor receives power from the energy storage device and provides torque to the wheel. A controller determines a first operational state of the electric vehicle and transmits a first torque signal to the motor to control the motor to transmit first torque levels to the wheel to propel the electric vehicle. The controller determines a second operational state of the electric vehicle and transmits a second torque signal to the motor assembly. The motor assembly transmits second torque levels to the wheel to generate haptic feedback. The second torque signal is based on the second operational state of the electric vehicle and a torque profile stored in the memory, where the torque profile defines an irregular-shaped periodic waveform (e.g., a heartbeat rhythm).

A jamming protection apparatus of a shift lever for a vehicle includes a shift lever rotatably provided in a housing. A contact portion is provided in the shift lever and is provided with an elastically behaving bullet. A detent portion is disposed such that the bullet of the contact portion is brought in contact with the detent portion in the housing. The detent portion is moveably seated in the housing and is provided with a grooved bottom configured such that the bullet moves over the grooved bottom when the shift lever is rotated. A behavior generator is connected to the detent portion and is configured such that the detent portion is moved by an operation of the behavior generator.

A dial type shift lever apparatus warns and limits a driver of mischievous manipulation of a rotation knob, preventing a mal-operation of gear shift and preventing a printed circuit board (PCB) circuit from being overloaded due to excessive manipulation of the rotation knob.

A drivetrain assembly having a shift mechanism. The shift mechanism may include a shift rail, a first shift assembly, a second shift assembly, and a sector cam. The shift rail may be fixedly disposed on a housing. The sector cam may control movement of the first shift assembly and the second shift assembly.
