What does the shift lock device of a manual transmission include?
1 Answers
Manual transmission shift lock devices include: 1. Self-locking device; 2. Interlock device; 3. Reverse gear lock device. The self-locking device is used to prevent the transmission from automatically disengaging or engaging gears, and to ensure full-width meshing of gear teeth. Most transmissions use self-locking steel balls to axially position and lock the shift fork shaft. The reverse gear lock device prevents accidental engagement of reverse gear. The interlock device prevents simultaneous engagement of two gears. The interlock device consists of interlock steel balls and interlock pins. The function of the reverse gear lock is to require the driver to apply greater force to the gear lever to engage reverse gear, thus serving as a warning to prevent accidental engagement of reverse gear.
