  • Transmission shifting arrangement
    Patent number: 4666023
    Abstract: Shifting arrangement for a gear transmission constructed in sections to be used for vehicles. With a common manual clutch (2) a parking lock, a reversing transmission and a range-change transmission are shifted. The movements of the manual clutch (2) in the shifting direction, respectively in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, actuate in a purely mechanical manner the shifting of the parking lock and the reversing transmission. Movements of the manual clutch (2) in selection direction, respectively transversally to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, actuate mechanically and hydraulically the shifting of the range-change transmission. Mechanical locking devices prevent undesired shifting.
