What are the locking devices in the transmission control mechanism?
1 Answers
Transmission control mechanism's positioning and locking devices include self-locking devices and interlocking devices. Self-locking device: Most transmission self-locking devices consist of self-locking steel balls and springs. The function of the self-locking device is to prevent the vehicle from automatically generating axial movement during bumps, which could cause automatic gear engagement or disengagement. Interlocking device: The interlocking device adds elements such as balls, pins, sliders, or frame plates between shift fork shafts to prevent simultaneous movement of two shift forks and automatic transmission mis-shifting. When one shift fork shaft is moved axially, other shift fork shafts are locked, thereby preventing the transmission from engaging two or more gears simultaneously.
