Abstract:
A method for testing and setting position of a position sensor during assembly of a transmission comprising the steps of:providing a transmission subassembly, the transmission subassembly having a transmission shifter connected to a shifter position sensor and having a shift control shaft; positioning the position sensor to align with the shift control shaft and provide a shift position output; installing a position sensor testing device not forming a part of the transmission on the position sensor to test position rotation of the position sensor as the shift control shaft is moved through shift positions; comparing the tested position of the position sensor with a predetermined window of accurate positioning for the position sensor; setting the position of the position sensor based on the comparison; and removing the position sensor testing device from the position sensor after completion of said comparing and setting steps.
