The shift collar may be rotatable about an axis with the drive pinion and may be moveable along the axis with respect to the drive pinion to selectively connect a member of the set of drive pinion gears to the drive pinion.

A vehicle drive device (1) is disclosed that includes a shift detent mechanism (90); an actuator (74) that generates drive power for allowing the shift detent mechanism to operate; a sensor (135) that generates sensor information indicating an amount of operation of the shift detent mechanism; a control part (153) that controls the actuator; and a clutch (30) that is synchronized with operation of the shift detent mechanism, and when the control part changes a state of the clutch, the control part performs feedback control of the actuator based on a relationship between a target value for an amount of operation of the shift detent mechanism and the sensor information, and before completing the change in the state of the clutch, the feedback control ends and operation of the actuator stops.

A shift range control device for a shift range switching mechanism that is rotatably coupled with a shift actuator and includes a rotation member having multiple recesses and a locking portion rotationally positioning the rotation member by being locked to one of the multiple recesses, controls a motor of the shift actuator to switch a shift range. The shift range control device includes: an angle acquisition unit that acquires a rotation angle of an output shaft of the shift actuator; a valley position learning unit that performs valley position learning for learning, as a valley position, the rotation angle of the output shaft; and a temperature acquisition unit that acquires an environmental temperature.

An actuating device for actuating gear shifting units of a manual transmission has deflectable transmission elements assigned to a respective gear shift unit for changing the gear ratio, a movable actuating element, and gear shift elements assigned thereto. The gear shift elements are movable together with the actuating element and are arranged in two gear shift groups. Dependent on a selecting position of the actuating element, the gear shift elements are coupled with coupling means for deflecting the transmission elements by means of a shifting movement. The shifting movement is independent of the selecting movement. The selecting position can be changed in selecting steps that are delimited by a selecting step length. At least one first gear shift element has an interconnected first gear shift length which is greater than the selecting step length.

A control method of a transmission of an electric vehicle provided with a transmission having a sleeve gear having an inclined chamfer on a first side of the sleeve gear and a flat chamfer on a second side of the sleeve gear, may include measuring a maximum movable stroke of a sleeve having the sleeve gear by moving the sleeve axially to both sides by a controller; determining a reference range to which the measured maximum stroke pertains from predetermined reference ranges by the controller; and determining and setting a neutral position of the sleeve using a predetermined determination method, depending on the determined reference range by the controller.

A flow valve control method, apparatus, and storage medium are provided. The method comprises: conducting a median current value teach-in of a flow valve starting from an initial median current value of the flow valve; and correcting a flow-current curve of the flow valve based on a deviation value obtained by the teach-in. Each teach-in process comprises: controlling current output to a flow valve, so that the flow valve successively goes through: when there is a flow passing through, an output flow enables a shifting mechanism to return to position, and when there is a flow passing through again, an output flow again enables the shifting mechanism to return to position; recording a current value the twice when there is a flow passing through the flow valve as a maximum median current value; and acquiring a deviation value of the maximum median current value from the initial median current value.

A shift range control device switches a shift range by controlling the drive of a motor. An angle calculation unit calculates a motor angle based on a motor rotation angle signal acquired from a motor rotation angle sensor detecting a rotational position of the motor. An acceleration calculation unit calculates a motor acceleration based on the motor angle. A moving average calculation unit calculates an acceleration moving average value as a moving average of at least one of a predetermined electrical angle cycle and a predetermined mechanical angle cycle of the motor acceleration. A drive control unit adopts the acceleration moving average value to control the drive of the motor such that the motor angle becomes a target motor angle value corresponding to a target shift range.

A shift mechanism configuring an outboard motor comprises: an electric actuator that linearly moves a movable rod; and a shift shaft portion that switches from neutral to forward or reverse based on displacement of said movable rod. Moreover, a neutral adjusting mechanism enabling a neutral position of the shift mechanism to be adjusted is provided facing the shift shaft portion, by a separate body. The neutral adjusting mechanism, which comprises first and second adjusting arms that are supported in a freely rotating manner with respect to a frame and that have been biased in contrary directions to each other by elastic springing force of a coil spring, is provided in a manner that an adjusting screw mounted in the first adjusting arm capable of abutting on a shift arm always abuts on a contacting wall of the second adjusting arm capable of contacting a switch sensor.
