Abstract
A structure for preventing baulking of a manual transmission E-shifter includes a vibration motor disposed in a knob of a manual transmission E-shifter and a return actuator automatically returning the manual transmission E-shifter to a NULL range. The structure makes a driver recognize mis-engagement and automatically shifts to a NULL range by driving the vibration motor and the return actuator, when mis-engagement is generated in a transmission, in a structure of a manual transmission E-shifter, in order to transmit mis-engagement of a manual transmission E-shifter, which is not mechanically connected with the manual transmission, and compensate for the mis-engagement.
Claims5
A structure for preventing baulking of a manual transmission E-shifter, comprising:
- an automatic transmission control unit;
- a manual transmission E-shifter;
- and
- a transmission,
- wherein the transmission is connected with a Transmission Control Unit (TCU) and generates and transmits a shift fail signal to the TCU when mis-engagement is generated,
- the TCU generates and transmits a NULL range return signal to the manual transmission E-shifter when receiving the shift fail signal, and
- the manual transmission E-shifter includes a return actuator and returns a shift range to the NULL range by driving the return actuator when receiving the NULL range return signal.
