Abstract:
1. A shifting apparatus of a vehicle transmission, the shifting apparatus comprising: an actuator to direct the vehicle transmission into a travel range setting; a selector to select a desired travel range setting; an actuator detector to output the travel range setting of the actuator to a transmission controller; a selector detector to output the desired travel range setting of the selector to the transmission controller; the transmission controller to move the actuator into the travel range setting in response to the desired travel range setting of the selector; a restrictor device to restrict an output of a drive motor if: a shut-off device to stop an output of the vehicle transmission if the desired travel range setting is within the travel range and if the vehicle travel direction corresponding to the travel range setting detected by the actuator detector is opposite from the desired vehicle travel direction corresponding to the desired travel range setting, wherein the travel range corresponds to a forward travel range (D) and a reverse travel range (R).
