Gearshift system for an automobile
This patent describes a gearshift system for an automobile with an automatic clutch and a transmission having four forward-gear sets. The system consists of: a first synchronizing device for selectively engaging a second speed gear and a fourth speed gear with an output shaft of the transmission; a second synchronizing device for selectively engaging a first speed gear and a third speed gear with the output shaft; a first shifter for operating the first synchronizing device; a second shifter means for operating the second synchronizing device; a select lever adapted to engage one of the first and second shifter; a manually operated shift lever; means for transmitting the shift of the shift lever to the select lever for shifting one of the shifter means; an electrical select device for operating the select lever to engage with one of the shifter; switch for producing signals representing a selection of one of the synchronizing devices; a thermo switch responsive to the temperature of the automatic clutch for producing an output signal when the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature; and control circuit responsive to the signals of the switch for operating the electrical select device to select one of the synchronizing devices.
