APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING MOTIVE POWER TRANSMISSION IN VEHICLE
A power transmission control apparatus for a vehicle c has a plurality of fork shafts coupled with “sleeves engageable with free-rotating gears”, including first and second fork shafts. When both the first and second fork shafts are in neutral positions, the first and second fork shafts are not coupled in the axial direction so that, while one fork shaft is maintained in its neutral position, the other fork shaft is movable by an actuator from its neutral position to its meshing position. When the one fork shaft is in its neutral position and the other fork shaft is in its meshing position, the first and second fork shafts are coupled in the axial direction so that, when the one fork shaft is moved from its neutral position to its meshing position by the actuator, the other fork shaft is simultaneously moved from its meshing position to its neutral position.
Transmission actuator attachment structure for automatic vehicle driving device
An L-shaped bracket (151) is fixed to a top end portion of a rack shaft (141) of a selecting actuator (133) of a transmission actuator unit (131) through a rotatable joint (152). An actuator housing (161) of a shifting actuator (134) is supported on a mounting surface (151a) of the L-shaped bracket (151) so as to be attachable to and detachable from the mounting surface (151a) through a lock mechanism (154) (a lock pin (155) and a lock hole (162a)). The shifting actuator (134) can be mounted with the shifting actuator (134) being reversed 180 degrees.

Electro-mechanical transmission shifter
An electro-mechanical transmission shifter preferably includes a first actuator, a second actuator, a shift linkage device, actuator mounting bracket, a programmable controller and a gear shift remote. The shift linkage device includes a mounting base plate, a first transmission shifting bracket, a second transmission shifting bracket and a linkage rod. The linkage rod couples the first and second transmission shifting brackets. The actuation rods of the first and second actuators are pivotally connected to the first and second transmission shifting brackets, respectively. A mounting end of the first and second actuators are retained on the actuator mounting bracket with first and second clevis blocks. The programmable controller receives a signal from a gear selector remote to change a gear in a transmission. The programmable controller also monitors the electrical current sent to the first and second actuators.
