Cool - more complex than I expected - interesting getting gear position signals from the shifter and not the transmission, like other designs - probably a more hospitable envt for electronics

Amazingly complex, with many little parts to assemble ! You didn't point out the little coocoo bird and chime though. Since it is so easy to fix and remove, service should be a breeze, even without that nifty rotary, any head style, any size screw removing tool you have there. Farfegnugen !

Always good to share the white atmospheric deposits with my neighbor to the north. If that unit needs to be dropped down rather than pulled up does that include removing the transmission in any way? Kinda risky having electronics close to cup holders for a klutz like me. Looks rather inexpensive, right. As always, exceptional video on yet another brain in an automobile.

Fortunately or unfortunately, this complex mechanism is not designed by Computer Engineers, or a fancy Glass Cockpit will be created with an AI wizard behind the scene doing the magic adjustment (in the name of fine tuning to please the customer) on occasion.

Odd there are both a position cable going to the transmission and another position sensor in the shifter, seems redundant to me.

@@speedkar99 Sure, but you need 3 inputs, there are only 2, what decision you make if one says Drive and other Neutral? If you implement proper HA, you need 3 to allow disambiguation with 2 that say the same thing and the 3rd "something else". Then you know the "something else" is wrong.

So what would happen if I shift to P or R with car moving at 60 kph (Canadian heyy)?

@speedkar99

Nothing. This transmission is electronically controlled and would have logic to block that. Even if it was manually controlled, the engine would just stall.

Big time. Imagine a team dedicated to making a shifter

Why does it even have a mechanical link? The transmission is electronically controlled anyways Also, and totally unrelated, why do automatics have a "park" function? Why not just a normal hand brake (that at least _some_ automatic cars have too)?
