Patent ID: 8429993

Claim:
Electro-hydraulic control apparatus for a motor-vehicle transmission having at least five forward gears and one reverse gear, the apparatus comprising: first, second and third shift forks, each movable in at least one engagement position to engage a respective gear, first, second and third hydraulic actuators each arranged to control the movement of a respective shift fork in the respective at least one engagement position, a slide valve selectively movable into one of at least three operating positions in each of which the slide valve selects a respective hydraulic actuator, wherein a first operating position is an end-of-travel position and corresponds to the selection of the first hydraulic actuator, and wherein a second operating position is also an end-of-travel position and corresponds to the selection of the second hydraulic actuator, and a pilot solenoid valve for controlling the movement of the slide valve among said at least three operating positions, wherein the first hydraulic actuator is associated at least to the first gear and the second hydraulic actuator is associated at least to the reverse gear.
