  • Electronic shift system for an automated manual transmission
    Patent number: 9829100
    Abstract: An electronic shift system for an automated manual transmission includes a shift lever moveable between at least a neutral position and a first gear position, a clutch pedal, a biasing member connected to the shift lever that biases the shift lever to the neutral position, and a grip system configured to selectively immobilize the shift lever in the first gear position when the clutch pedal is released. An electrical circuit communicates a position of the shift lever to a control module. The control module commands the automated manual transmission to achieve the gear ratio (forward or reverse) corresponding to the first gear position when the shift lever is in the first gear position.
