Abstract
A transmission selector assembly for a vehicle having an automatic transmission settable to gear ranges of low-speed ranges, a high-speed range and a higher-speed range. The transmission selector assembly includes: a selector lever which is shiftable between forward-gear positions of, at least, a high-speed position where the transmission is allowed to be set to the high-speed range or the higher-speed range, and a low-speed position where the transmission is allowed to be set to the low-speed range; and a gearshift switch for switching the gear ranges between the high-speed range and the higher-speed range while the selector lever remains in the high-speed position, and between gear ranges other than the high-speed range and the higher-speed range while the selector lever remains in the forward-gear positions other than the high-speed position.
