  • Patent number: 6835163
    Abstract: An automated gear selection apparatus for a gearbox having a linear gear selector is provided. The apparatus includes an actuator having a shaft displaceable between at least two predetermined positions corresponding to positions of the gear selector. A control means communicates with the actuator to control displacement of the shaft. The shaft is connectable to the gear selector, by means of a cable, for displacing the selector between gear selection positions. A quick release assembly secures the cable to the shaft and includes a manual operation handle. The apparatus also includes a user interface means operatively connected to the control means so that a user can selectively cause operation of the actuator and thus the gear selector. The apparatus provides a convenient and automated means for gear selection.
