Abstract:
1. A position detecting device comprising: a control section configured to repeatedly control a gear connecting mechanism in a vehicle transmission to selectively perform a gear connecting operation to obtain a selected gear range and a gear releasing operation to release the selected gear range after the gear connecting operation has been performed, the control section being further configured to perform the gear connecting operation by moving a shift fork of the gear connecting mechanism with a pressing force, an upper limit of which is set at a value at which sensor error due to warping of the shift fork will be ignored; a detecting section configured and arranged to detect a position of a connecting member of the gear connecting mechanism after the gear connecting operation has been performed; and a setting section configured to set a shift completion position at which connecting of the selected gear range is determined to be completed based on a plurality of positions of the connecting member of the gear connecting mechanism detected by the detecting section.
