Method For Manufacturing Detecting Sensor, Detecting Sensor, and Transmission

A method for manufacturing a detecting sensor, comprising the steps of:

• positioning a magnet in a mold having a plurality of terminal receiving holes;
• positioning in the mold a plurality of magnetic field detecting sensor elements, each having a body and a terminal projecting from body;
• inserting the terminals into the terminal receiving holes;
• injecting molten resin into the mold;
• and
• curing the molten resin to form a housing having the magnet and the sensor elements embedded.

A method for manufacturing a detecting sensor, comprising the steps of:

• positioning a magnet in a mold having a plurality of terminal receiving holes;
• positioning in the mold a plurality of magnetic field detecting sensor elements having
• a plurality of adjacent, overlapped bodies and
• a plurality of terminals projecting from the bodies in a same direction;
• inserting each terminal into the terminal receiving holes;
• injecting molten resin into the mold;
• and
• curing the molten resin to form a housing disposed over the magnet and the sensor elements, the housing having
• a first sensor holding member positioned on a first side of the housing and abutted against a surface of the body on a first side of the plurality of sensor elements, and
• a second sensor holding member positioned on a second side of the housing and abutted across a portion of a surface of the body of the sensor element on a second side of the plurality of sensor elements.

A transmission comprising:

• a shift selecting shaft moveable along a longitudinal axial to perform a first select and shift operation, and rotatable about the longitudinal axis to perform a second select and shift operation;
• a detection projection positioned on an outer peripheral portion of the shift selecting shaft;
• and
• a detecting sensor having
• a magnet;
• a plurality of magnetic field detecting sensor elements having
• a plurality of adjacent, overlapped bodies and
• a plurality of terminals projecting from the bodies in a same direction;
• and
• a housing disposed over the magnet and plurality of sensor elements, and having
• a first sensor holding member positioned on a first side of the housing and abutted against a surface of the body on a first side of the plurality of sensor elements;
• and
• a second sensor holding member positioned on a second side of the housing and abutted across a portion of a surface of the body of the sensor element on a second side of the plurality of sensor elements.
