Abstract
A vehicle transmission control apparatus including a plurality of shift members for operating a vehicle transmission; a lever adapted for movement in one sense into a plurality of positions, one end of the lever being operatively coupled to a different one of the shift members in each of the positions; the lever being further adapted for pivotal movement in response to which the one end of the lever actuates the operatively coupled shift member; a select actuator comprising a select cylinder and a select piston retained thereby, the select piston being coupled to the lever and hydraulically controlled to produce the movement thereof in the one sense; a shift actuator comprising a hydraulic cylinder and a shift piston retained thereby, the shift piston being coupled to the lever and hydraulically controlled to produce the pivotal movement thereof and a control member coupled to the lever and manually operable to produce therefor both the pivotal movement and the movement in the one sense.
